There were serious doubts last night whether
power men would return to normal working
today after the Electricity Council had stated
that it would not pay the men for the duration of
the dispute; Payment was one of the conditions
laid .down by the 'men. for a return. Earlier Mr
Wedgwood Benn had said the men's conditions
posed no difficulties for the Government;

The Electricity Council was
- emphatic last night that it
would not pay power workers
. who bad taken unofficial action
. chat caused power cuts through-
. out Britain.

Earlier Mr Wedgwood Benn,
Secretary of State for Energy,
had said that the three condi-
tions put forward by the men
for a resumption of work by 10
o'clock tonight posed no diffi-
culty for the Government. One
condition was thar they should
get paid for the duration of the
"-dispute.

There iras serious doubt last
night whether earlia- optimism
about a Quick settlement had
been justified. The four manual
unions in the industry are un-
comfortable shout the impact
that on unofficial shop stew-
ards 1 _ committee has had on
bargaining.

The Department of Energy
was at pains to emphasize that
Mr Benn was nor commenting
on any difficulties the condi-
tions might present to the
C antral Electricity Generating
Board and the Electricity Coon-
til, but was merely saying that
he Government saw no obstacle.

The managers and profes-
ional engineers who have
• -eiped to reopen six power sta-

not wear it”, he said on tire
Independent Television News, at
One. “Our members have not
done the work they have done;
they have not made the various
sacrifices they have made, ic'
order to have the Government
pay the chaps for not working.
It is ridiculous.”

He said he did not believe
that that was the Government’s
view. It might be Mr Benn’s.
and if it was it would be
challenged. Mr Benn had
adopted an incredible posture
over the past few days.

Whitehall sources indicated
after a joant manage mant-umo n
meeting with Mr. Benn yester-
day that the Centred Electricity
Generating Board was being
pressed to give urgent con-
sideration to arrangements for
a return to work- From the
managements point of view,
however, the conditions as a
package do not form the basis
for a peace deed.

National union leaders left
the talks for consultations
»m«ig themselves. Mr Jack
Biggin, of the General and
Municipal Workers* Union, said
be was hopeful of a return to
normal working.

If the unions find any dif-
ficulties in the peace terms
they are likely to centre cm the
stewards* demand to be. recog- -
aized in bargaining. 7t appear*

oris closed, by the action are. that they are talking Gfdy abQtrt
amoved with Mr Benn. - Their local negotiating machinery and
raders, too, were interpreting not the national structure, but
is remarks as suggesting that the point is still not clear.

le men should get paid for the
uration of the dispute.

Mr John Lyons, general secre-
. ary of rhe engineers* union,
he Electrical Power Engineers’
association (EPEA), described
-It Be nit's statement as *‘in-
:redible ” if true.

He added: “One of the prob-
etns about this whole dispute
tas been that Mr Benn h3S nor
>een heard of. He has given no
upport, he has made no srate-
ient in support of the unions,
•le management or my me tri-
ers and other members of the
caff who have been working to
'Jtp the system going.’*

He gave a warning thar his
nembers would be angry if Mr
lenn was saying there was no
Ilt'ficultr in meeting the shop
towards* peace conditions.

" I am bound to say we will

Mr Albert Perry man has
resigned as loader of the shop
stewards’ committee heading
the dispute, apparently because
of threats to his family from
the public. His successor is Mr
Michael Barwick, who works at

'• Mr Rees, ' Home Secretary,

there could be no Question of

Mr Rees said as he left the

stations as the Navy did during
the 1926 General Strike.

The Civil Contingencies Unit
continually asks itself which
unions taking direct action can
oxen an immediate effect on
the nation’s life and morale.
High on that list of vulnerable

dawn the Heath government - spots are power supplies, sew-
Wliitehall discovered then and
later, during the Ulster power
workers’ strike, for example,
that tiie technology of the elec-
trical power industry has

become so complicated that the
Armed Services these days
could not run the power

erase, water, bread and trans-
port.

Jt must also try to estimate
which unions will honour
another’s picket line. If the
Government takes on the rail-
waymen, can the country keep
moving unless the busmen
come out too ? If the rail
waymen and rhe Transport and
General Workers' Union had
not recognized the miners’
picket lines in 1973-74 the out-
come might have been very
different.

At first sight, as Sir Clive
reflects oo the events of three
years ago, when Sir Patrick
Nairue, now at the Department
of Health and Social Security,
occupied -his chair, little will'
appear to have changed for the
better. The police are better
trained to handle mass pickets.
The balance of payments is
infinitely stronger. The
Government could take on the
unions of British Leyland with-
out the currency collapsing.
Perhaps most important of all,
it can rely ou the Opposition
to withhold support from indi-
viduals and groups who threat-
en the civil power, a certainty
that was denied to Air Heath.

But would the unions break
ranks this time in a way they
did not do in 1973-74 ? Even if
a Labour government does find
itself enjoying advantages
denied the Conservatives by
the Labour movement , has ic
got the equipment, the staff, or
even the plans to keep the

gency?

Israeli gunners strike
back in border shelling

From Mosfae BriRiaut
Tel Aviv, Nov 8

Tension rose in Galilee today
as a missile attack from
Lebanon killed a Jewish woman
in Nahariyya and Israeli police
shot dead an Arab while quel-
ling a demonstration in Majdal
Kruro.

Tbe shelling of Nahariyya,
apparently by Palestinian guer-
rillas, was the second in three
days and brought the death toll
to three. Army headquarters
here said that Israeli artillery
retaliated by shelling areas of
the Lebanese port of Tyre and
Rushadiya, 14 and 12 miles res-
pectively from the border.
These areas were deeper inside
Lebanon than the source of the
fire on Nahariyya.

Lieutenant-General Mor-
dechai Gur, the Israeli Chief
of Staff, visited Nahariyya. a
seaside resort some six miles
from the border, and said the
shellings this week marked a

change in terrorist policy and
the ceasefire between, tbe Pale-
stinians and tiie 'Christian
militia -.in. southern Lebanon
could be considered broken.

In the demonstration at Maj-
dal Rrum, 22 policemen and six
Arabs were injured. Nearly 30
protesters were arrested.

Police said a guard had been
put on Ministry of Interior rep-
resentatives carrying out a court
order to bulldoze a- building
which had. been put up with-
out a permit at the side of a
main highway.

Beirut, Nov 8. — Israeli gun-
ners, in addition to the retalia-
tion shelling of Tyre, also
pounded two Palestinian refu-
gee camps near the city and
several Lebanese villages, it
was announced here today.

sources in the south said up to

By Michael Hatfield
Political Reporter

Two leading. Labour , left-
wingers were involved in a
heated argument yesterday over
remarks praising the achieve-
ments of the Soviet Union
made by Mr Alex Khson, a
member' of the party’s national
executive committee, while
attending the sixtieth anniver-
sary celebrations of the Rus-
sian Revolution.

The argument took place
at a meeting of the party's in-
ternational committee and at
one sage Mr Eric Heffer, who
raised the mazier, banged the
table in anger at comments
made by Mr Normmi Atkinson,
the party treasurer.

Mr Atkinson sad criririsms
had been voiced by ° arid war
warriors ", a remark that Mr
Heffer construed as an attack
upon himself.

Mr Heffer took particular

exception to the reported
remarks of Mr Kitson that his
presence at the celebrations
was “a great political mile-
stone in the relations between
tbe British Labour Party and
the Communist Party of the
Soviet Union.”

Air Kitson, who arrived back
in London yesterday from
Moscow after the international
committee meeting had
finished, was not in fact a
fraternal delegate from the
Labour Party. The party had
not intended to send anyone,
bur when it was discovered that
Mr Kitson was attending the
celebration as a representative
of the Scottish TUC the inter-
national committee accepted
his offer to serve as an observer
for the parry.

Mr Mikardo, The chairman,
had vo adjourn the meeting for
five minutes to let tempers cool,
and on its resumption apologies
were made.

While the argument was in
progress Mr Heffer also dashed
with Mr Ffimk ARann, who, in
defending Mr Kitson, said the
matter bad been got up by the
Tory press. Mr Heffer, flourish-
ing a copy of the Morning Star,
which displayed Mr Kkson’s
remarks prominently on the
front page, asked : “Ts this a
Tory newspaper ? ”

The inquest however, never
took place. The issue was left
instil next month’s meeting of
the comnnnee, when Mr Kitson
wiU be expected to give an
account of what he raid.

ScspcSonsIy, the Opposition
foiled to exploit this embarrass-
ment to the Government during
Prime Mhtiszeris question tune
yesterday- Mr Callaghan was
prepared to express strong dis-
approval of Mr Kitson if he had
been asked to commenc, but no
one asked ten. ^

A further hknr to the Govern-
ment’s pay policy was struck
yesterday when a million local
authority manual workers, the
largest public sector group,
were offered a, rise of 10.7 per
cent on earnings. The offer,
made by local authority -em-
ployers, is contrary to govern-
ment guidelines which seek to
keep settlements within 10 per

secretary of the National Union
of Public Employees, described
the offer as “well below our
claim The union had asked for
a rise of about 30 per cent, mak-
ing a £50 minimum. ** Our ob-
jective is ro make a major
impact ou low pay. The em-
ployers have made no move in
that direction *’. Page 2

Old British
customs
still dying
hard

By Robin Young
_ It sounded as if every Bri-
tish traveller's dream had
come true. The customs men
would be taking industrial
action and be absent from duty
all afternoon.

But the British traveller is
evideutly a sceptical creature.
Scarcely any tried to take
advantage of the situation. In
fact it was quire difficult even
tu try to do so. because In
Calais yesterday business was
so quiet that the attendants at
the duty-free shop closed ic lor
three hours at lunchtime.

On board the 1410 Scalink
Serrice from Calais, the French
vessel Compie^ne. there were
only a handful ot British tra-
vellers. and none of those
reiunting from trips abroad
had heard of the strike.

The staff of the dutv-free
shop on board did little ro
encourage business, saying that
ail they knew was that' they
had been ordered to prepare
an inventory’ of their stock fur
a customs check.

Only one man, who said he
had read about the strike in
The Times, decidtd to rivk
buying more than rhe core >-
sionary allowance. He had
already loaded his Citroen GS
with 170 litres of French wine,
and now added 17 litres of
spirits and some cigarettes and
cigars.

His fellow passengers looked
at him askance but were nnc
tempted to follow his example
I'nrii an officer arrived to tell
rhe duty-free shop atirnJjDts
that the message about the cus-
toms check had been mistrans-
lated . There would be no cus-
toms check that afternoon. At
that several people plucked u;»
courage to asl: for extra bot-
tles of whisky and gin, but ic
was too late. The inventory
had been taken and the aiie-'d-
ams said the shop was closed.

Disappointment was soon-
lived. On arrival at Dover, >t
was quickly obvious chat cus-
toms were working much as nor-
mal. The man with the Citroen
GS, who drove into the red
lane, was surrounded by three
uniformed senior customs men.

Most of rhe uniformed cus-
toms officers were at the staff
association meetings thar were
intended to end all customs
checks for four hours, hut
several were still at work with
their senior colleagues. “We
were absolutely determined
that there should at least he a
check to see that no drugs
were brought in,*' one of the
senior men said.

Your Correspondent, ihe m-’.n
with the Citroen, event ua IV
emerged looking rueful, having
paid a £238 br 11. His .bottles
of whisky, for example, h.ul
each cost him £8, nearly twice
the British price.

“The funny thing is”, he
said, “the last rime I carac
through customs was at Gat-
wick. and there ivas not a soul
in the customs hall when 1
walked through. But, of course,
that rime I hod nothing with
me/' Strike news, page 2

Passengers escape
as

customs men strike

By Christopher Thomas
Labour Reporter

A u smugglers* paradise ”
which was threatened because
of a strike by customs officers
yesterday did not take place,
although it was cautiously ad
mined that passengers at sea
and airports were not be'mp
subjected to the normal amount
oF checking.

The Board of Customs and
Excise said a customs presence
was maintained and control of
passenger traffic continued ro
operate, but some officials
were not in uniform and might
not hare been recognized as
customs men.

The four-hour strike was part
of a half-day of protest over
pay by the Society of Civil and
Public Servants.

Passengers arriving at Heath-
row said they had walked
through the customs hall with-
out hindrance. About a hundred
customs men and women were
believed to have walked out at
the airport during the after-
noon. In their place the
authorities left “ honesty
taxes " and bundles of forms
-7or passengers who believed
they had goods to declare.

There was also action by
immigration officers at Heath-
row. At Gatwick hundreds ot
passengers were delayed when
most of the officials walked out,
leaving a bandful of staff to
check passports and baggage.
Passengers carrying British
passports were allowed through
but others were told they would
be held until the strike, which
ended at S.30 pm, was over.

There were no delays at
Dover.

The strike also affected many
local offices of the Department

of Health and Social Security
and in some areas driving tests
were cancelled as examiners
stopped work. -

The society said it had had

almost total support among the
95,000 of its 105,000 members
who were asked to stop work.

The protest has angered other
Civil Service unions who are
abiding by a derision to take
industrial action jointly. A
request to the Institution of
Professional Civil Servants
from the society not to cross
picket lines was rejected by Mr
William McCall, general secre-
tary, as “ preposterous “

Lord Peart, Lord I Priy. Seal,

who has responsibility for the
Civil Service, said the strike
might make pay negotiations
more difficult. The reputation
of the Civil Service might be
damaged.

About 3,500 civil servants
met in Central ‘Hall, West-
minster, yesterday afternoon to
press their demand that the
independent pay research unit,
which compares Civil Service
wages with private sector wages,
should be restored. The Gov-
ernment maintains that there
can be no question of a pay
settlement next April, the anni-
versary date, based on such pay
research.

Tax repayments: Mr Healey,
the Chancellor, has given the
Treasury until tomorrow to try
to find a peace formula in a
dispute that is threatening to
delay the tax repayments prom-
ised in his recent economic
measures (the Press Associa-
tion reports].

Inland Revenue staff want
additional pay for the extra
work they wul have to do if
the new allowances are to be
arranged before Christmas.

Government

claims

support for
policy

By Fred Emery
Political Editor

The Prime Minister,, having
last week appealed for public
support for pay restraint,
admitted in the Commons yes-
terday rhar the Government was
“mobilizing’* and getting that
support. As long as it could
retain it the Government would
stick to its policy of resisting

excessive wage demands.

During question rime Mr
Callaghan declared : * It is our
task immobilize the general will
against the particular interest. 0

With the rank and file
rebelling against union leader-
ship, as with the firemen's deci-

sion to strike, there was a prob-

a whole.

lem for democracy as
“We have got to give a firm
lead, and we intend to do it**,
Mr Callaghan said.

His slight shift of emphasis
was duly noted at Westminster.
But any idea that he meant
that if public support was with-
drawn he would then give in to
wage demands was strenuously
rejected. Clearly, the impres-
sion is left with observers that
the Government believes the
unofficial action by the power
workers has strengthened its
hand ; and that the public
reaction against them has
helped the Government.

The Government also affects
confidence over the miners* pay
demand. Mr Callaghan claimed
in one answer that the miners’
pay agreement did not expire
until next March. He meant
that the Government intended,
at the very least, to keep the
miners to the 12-month interval

that, as the TUC agreed, ougte
ettlt

to separate wage settlements
after phase two.

Local authority workers offered 10.7%

By Paul Routledge
Labour Editor

The Government's pay policy
was thrown into fresh .con-
fusion yesterday by an offer of
10.7 per cent on the wages bill
to the largest group of public-
sector workers, a million local
authority manual workers.

The offer made by local
authority employers flies in the
face of Mr Healey's insistence
thee most settlements this
winter must be “well within

> ingle figures ” if an overall
limit of

10 per cent in the
nati on’s pay bil 1 is to be
observed. It would rest rate-

payers about £173m a year.

According to figures supplied
to the three local authority
unions, the employers’ offer
gives S.S per cent on basic rates
t£3.40 to £4 a week;: another
1.4 per cent flowing from par-
tial consolidation of the pay
policy supplements; and a
further 0.5 per cent from a
tidying-up operation for the re-

maining money granted under
phases one and two but left as
a wage supplement.

That total of 10.7 per cent
was described last night by Mr
AJan Fisher, general secretary
of the National Union of Public
Employees (Nupe), as “ well
below our claim”. The union
side bad asked for a substan-
tial rise, quantified in talks as
a £50 -minimum, which would
mean rises of up to £11.50, or
abour 30 per cent.

“Our objective is to make a
major impact on low pay ”, he
said. “The employers have
made no move in that direc-
tion.”

Nupe's national committee
for local authority workers is
to meet on Friday to examine
the offer, and an emergency
meeting of the union’s execu-
tive -has been called for the
next day to decide what recom-
mendation should be put to
375,000 members employed on
.town ball manual work.

The general drift of pay
policy is likely to be debated
at a meeting of the TUC econo-
mic committee today. On die
agenda is a report of talks be-
tween the TUC and leaders of
the Merchant Navy and Airline
Officers* Association, which
gives qualified support to the
union’s campaign to win big
wage rises ** within the pay
poScy **.

The report argues that the
Department of Employment
should not stand in the way of
a compromise formula put for-
ward by the association but
rejected* by the General
Council of British Shipping
This accepts phase two but
seeks substantial increases
through a “self-financing pro-
ductivity deal **.

The revolt against a 10 per
cent limit, which has not, been
accepted by the TUC. spread
yesterday to the seamen, wbo?6
negotiators rejected an offer
from the employers in line with
government guidelines. -

Secrets case court is cleared for playing of tape

By Stewart Ten (Her

Totaii&am Magistrates*
Court, London, was cleared
yesterday- while a tape record-
ing was ‘ played of a meeting
at which a former- Army ’ in relli-
gecce analyst was said go have,
given two journalises details of
Britain’s system for monitoring
telecommunications.

The court was told that the
recording was made last Feb-
ruary when rite journalists met
John Berry, aged 33, the
former soldier, of Wool Green,
London. , Mr Berry, Duncan
Campbell, aged 24s of Brighton,
and Crispin Aubrey, aged 31,
of Islington, London, have aS
been charged trader the Offi-
cial Secrets. Act.

On -the first -day of commit-
tal proceedings, at which
reporting re9Cria£oas were
lifted, Mr Michael Coombe, for
the prosecution, said the infor-
mation at the meeting could
have seriously damaged the
national interest. - An expert
witness .would say that such.'
damage might range from the
“ grave to the exceptionally
grave

Mr Coombe said Mr Berry
was in the Army from 1965 to
1970' in various units sod

signals intelligence, counsel
said. The work was highly sec-
ret and Mr Berry signed un-
dertakings never to reveal that
work.

Some time before the meet-
ing in February . Mr Berry
made a statement to the
National Council for Civil
liberties in which be said be
had been interested In the case

S

of Mark Hcsenball and Philip

cpelled

places. He was engaged in
work involving security and

Agee, two Americans expelli
earlier this year for reasons of
national security.

JLn the statement Mr Berry
referred . to the government
communications headquarters,
Hnks -with other intelligence
agencies in the United States
and the monitoring system
wtticb spied on friendly and
alien countries, as well as com*
ttxrcxai telecommunications
tr a f fic. He was worried about
the.thmgs beans done without
public knowledge or financial
, atcounrabtiaty

As a result of the statement,
'Mi Aubrqy, who works for the
Time Out magazine, arranged
to see Mr Berry and took Mr
Campbell, a freelance journa-
list, with him.

A -recording lasting more
than three hours was taken
and both journalists took
notes. After the meeting.

lice officers, who bad been
ceeping watch, arrested the
three men. .

Mr Coombe said Mr Berry
told the journalists about the
nature and size of Arm intelli-
gence, links- between the Ser-
vices, identification, and other
details.

He continued: “The Crown
say it is information that could
be useful to. an enemy and its
disclosure in this manner is

exceptionally grave.” Signals
ider

intelligence was considered
essential to the defence of the
country and -was particularly
vulnerable to counter-
measures.

An enemy. Mr Coombe said,
would want to know what was
done and what units were in-
volved. According to an expert,
information supplied by Mr
Berry could endanger lives in
such places as Northern Ire-
land.

Counsel said . Mr Aubrey had
been charged as an aider and
abettor. He went with a tape
recorder to the meeting.

In the case of Mr Campbell,
who is charged with obtaining
the information from Mr
Berry, Mr Coombe said: “ It is
not suggested that he was in
the employ of a foreign power
but he was thoroughly subver-

sive and published information
that he knew was secret.” *

Mr Campbell is charged
separately wnh collecting in- ■
formation tirat might be useful
to an enemy. Mr Coombe said
that when the police searched
Mr Campbell’s horns in Brigh-
ton they found hundreds of
photographs, slides and an
index with more than *00
cards into which information
concerning defence establish-
ments, radar stations and other
systems was distilled.

Mr Campbell, he said
“had no scrupple in pacing in-
formation ou and receiving in-
formation back from them ”.

After evidence had been
given that Mr Berry had
signed the Official Secrets Act
during and at the end of his
Army service, die court beard
the first few minutes of the
tape recording. The three men
were heard discussing Mr
Berry’s Service record and
then the two large loud-
speakers were turned off.

Mr Coombe asked the three
magistrates to hear the rest of
the recording in camera. The
three defence counsel opposed
the application.

Mr Michael Mansfield, for
the defence of Mr Berry, said
nothing in the recording was

detrimental to national secur-
ity or safety. The administra-
tion of justice should be pub-
lic. A decision that accepted
that there was information on
the tapes of a secret nature
amounted to prejudging the
case.

Mr Geoffrey Robertson, for
the defence of Mr Campbell,
said .his client would say that
the prosecution had mistaken
subversion for investigative
journalism, and the other side
of the coin should be heard.
Much of what was oo the tape
had been published. He
pointed out th3t Mr Berry was
not allowed to go to any iron
curtain country without
written permissinn for a mere
two years after his discharge.
Yet he could never go to Time

Om.

Lord Gifford, for the
defence of Mr Aubrey, said it
was repugnant to hear the
tapes in camera when political
issues were involved. They in-
cluded the question of how far
a professional journalist should
interview a former member of
the Armed Forces.

The magistrates, under the
chairmanship of Mr J. B. Turn-
er, decided ro hear tbe tapes
in secret.

The hearing continues today.

Dr Owen urges new
tax system for 1980s

By Our Political Reporter

A big change in Britain's per-
sonal taxation system in the
1980s was proposed for discus-
sion by Dr Owen, Secretary of
State for Foreign and Common-
wealth Affairs, last night.

In a lecture to the Fabian
Society Dr Owen described the
present pay-as-you-earn system
as virtually unique, and advo-
cated, a self-assessment system
as operated in the United States
and Canada-

Tbe adoption of self- assess-
ment would bring Britain into
tine with most other Western
countries, would cut administra-
tive costs considerably, would
remove some of the existing
obstacles to short-term manage-
ment of the economy and would
bring a number of other advant-
ages.

“There may be problems but
1 have little doubt that in the
1980s tax policy should be '
examined more openly and
seriously than hither to”

He explained that under the
self-assessment system people,
were in effect assessed on the
basis of their incomes in tbe
first week or month of the tax
year- That worked in such a
way that for nearly everyone
too much ra xwas withheld by
employers during the year.
That provided people with an
incentive to file a tax. return.

Survey- evidence suggested
that a system whereby most
people paid too much tax and
received an annual rebate was
popular.

Dr Owen said if the Labour
Party fatted to tap, ignite,
cherish and foster altruism it
would never enlist sufficient
support for its policies. *‘We
are not a party purely
dedicated to the vsdues of the
market place.

“ Community cooperation,
participation, workers demo-
cracy, decentralized decision-
making, the virtue of tbe small
unit, have always been high
among the values of British
socialism, yet until recently

they seem to have been less
inffu

juential and the party’s

philosophy and appeal cor-
responding

gly weakened.

. “ As last we are moving away
from ever increasing centraliza-
tion- The Labour Government’s
commitment to devolution is a
welcome return to a historic
commitment. We are starting to
look . at die Conservative local
government reform with a view
to bringing some of its decision-
making powers for some does
closer to the people.”

■ The Labour Party must re-
capture its radicalism. Tbe wish
to change society remained,
particularly among the young,
but it had beeQ strangled by
committees.

More attention must be spent
ia getting value for money in
social spending and investment.
j^'Tbe party- concentrated- -too-
much on global levels of spend-
ing. Increasing social expendi-
ture was often desirable but not
' an end in itself. ■

Brigades answer 2,000
calls for help every day

A union that has never had an official strike and
has no rules to cover the possibility of one

By Christopher Warmati
Local Government
Correspondent

The fire service in England
and Wales answers nearly 2,000
calls each day, according co tbe
'atest statistics published yes-
terday by the Chartered Insti-
: Mtc of Public Finance and
Accountancy.

Figures for last year show
that the average cost of turning
rut in response to a call was
t.35Q. Of the total number of
culls, two fifths were to small
fires and a fifth were false
alarms. Half the false alarms
v:crc attributed to “malicious”
calls, costing some _£23m.

For the year 19 it -78 it is
estimated that the fire service
will cost £244m. The Govern-
ment's rate support grant for
the service amounted to £238m,
leaving a gap of nearly £Gm to
be paid for by the local autho-
rities. Most of the excess
relates to the estimate of some
2.000 more staff in employment
than covered by the grant.

Although the estimated
number of whole-time and oart-
time firemen is 2.000 above the
figures used in the rate
suDoorr grant settlement, the
total of 52.754 is below the
number needed by the local
authorities.

Whole-time firemen, totalling
32.829, arc estimated to be 4
per cent below strength, and
the 14.296 part-time firemen
arc considered to be 20 per cent
down. The rest is made up ol
5.629 civilians on tbe service
stuff.

Training for Servicemen : Train-
ing in fire-fighting techniques

for 11,000 Servicemen . was
stepped up yesterday in case
they have to fill the gap left
by striking firemen next week.
Eight thousand are soldiers and
the rest are mainly from the
Royal Air Force.

Mr Charles Clisfay, deputy
assistant, chief officer, said :
“ In London we have 450 calls
a day. We require 5,500 people
tc man three shifts and to give
adequate rest. The Servicemen
will get very tired indeed.”

Officially it is said that the
training of Servicemen follows
existing contingency plans, but
it is understood that the
ministry did not expect a
nationwide strike. just
stoppages in areas where fire-
men were most militant.

I- is said that there - is no
equipment to fight blazes in
high-rise fiats or electrical and
chemical fires in industry.

watches and “ pounce on domes-
tic blazes”.

By Donald Macintyre
Labour Reporter

If the Fire Brigades Union
withdraws all fire cover from
Monday, its members will noi
receive strike pay- It has never
experienced an official strike
since the union was formed in
1918, and there is nothing rn
the. rule book to cover tbe po $
sibility of one.

In 1926 tbe union was one of
those specifically exempted by
the TUC from joining in the
General Strike. As a conse-
quence tbe British Gazette
optimistically reported that the
union was opposed to the strike
and that members had used
hoses on trade unionists.

The Fire Brigades Union
leadership was indignant about
that report, so much so that a
5 per cent levy was imposed
to contribute-, to tbe organiza-
tion of fellow trade unionists’
strikes.

Nothing could better illu-
strate the tension between tbe
firemen’s role as public ser-
vants and their ■ traditional *
union loyalties. The 'firemen
are uniformed servants of the
community entrusted to carry
out tasks which- only the can
fulfil.

At the same, time the union
occupies an honoured place to-
wards the left of the labour
movement in contrast to the
Police Federation, for instance,
which is not affiliated to the
TUC and is an infant in the
politics of trade unionism.

Monday’s decision was a de-
feat for the union’s executive
and Mr Terence Parry, its gen-
eral secretary. Mr Parry, on

social and general political
issues to the left of centre, is
a senior member of the TUC’s
inner councils. .He argued in
vain in Monday’s debate chat
the union should carry on talk-
ing with the local authority em-
ployers after their 10 per cent
offer and report back hr a few
weeks.

That his advice should have
been rejected by a -majority
of two to one will no doubt
be claimed by the small num-
ber -of politically _ minded ex-
tremists in the union as a vic-
tory for them. Certainly Mer-
seyside, whose brigade commit-
tee originally proposed an im-
mediate strike from last night;
has been a focus for some far
left activity usually associated
with the .Socialist Workers’
Party. :

But both tbe present moder-
ately minded union leadership
and, privately, die employers in
local uathorities, believe that
the public would be deluding
themselves to think that such

a - large majority • could' be
that

swayed by other than a genuine
sense of grievance.

Firemen are an articulate and
strong minded lot, it is pointed
.out, and. most see enough dan-
ger in their working lives to
dispense - with the excitement
offered by political adventurers.

Tbe union underwent a period
of Communist Party- domination
in the first decade after the
war, but there are at present
few, if any, Communist mem-
bers among its leading activists.

The Advisory, Conciliation

and Arbitration Service strongly

criticized the union in London
(it also had some harsh words
for management) for being too
inclined to ignore established
procedures, but something of a
transformation has been noted
in the capita*.

It was the London area, long
regarded as one of the most
mOkaot, that proposed at Mon-
day’s conference to give a
breathing space by calling for
a ballot of the membership
.before a strike. The motion
was defeated by 21,000 votes
to 18,000. ,

The union does not outlaw
political activity, but it tem-
porarily removed .two office-
holders who were associated
with militant followers of the
group publishing the Rank and
File newspaper, on the ground
that it bad attacked the leader-
ship. • (

Tbe moon is unusual in that
it has only five fuH-tisne offi-
cers, a general se c retar y and
assistant general sec r etar y and
three national . officers.

garded as leaning towards the
union’s right. They are. elected

Firemen believe .that the in
creasing demands of their job
are not rewarded according to
standards in outside industry.

“If the strike goes ahead it
will be not only the first bat
the last”, one union official
said yesterday. * Either we
shall win our case once and for
att or we shall fail so badly that
we wffl never try again.”

Riddle of Mulley reply on Service unions

By Henry Stanhope

Defence Correspondent

Mr Mulley, Secretary of
State for Defence, said in the
Commons yesterday . that he
had no objection In principle
to tbe Armed Forces having
union membership and nego-
tiating about pay.

He said iu reply to a ques-
tion that he was not at all sure
that that would overcome tbe
difficulties facing the Govern
ment in dealing with Service

pay.

He added: “On the other
hand 1 have no objection in
principle to the Armed Forces,
if they were so minded, seek-
ing that Lind of represftb
tation.”

Mr Mulley, who faced ques-
tions from Conservatives,
denied that any members o£
the Armed Forces were draw-
ing social security, although
about ten officers end six thou-
sand other ranks were rcceiv-
iilg rent :uid rate rebates.

It would be unwise to try to
predict what the Armed Forces
Pay Review Body would recom-
mend in its next report in
April, he added.

Mr" Muncy’s statement on
union representation, which
took his own ministry by Sur-
prise, has significant overtones
at a rime when there is wide-
spread discontent over pay and
conditions in the Services.

Officers and men have com-

S i aiaed that their hardships
ave been largely forgotten
because they have no onion or
professional ' organization to
bring pressure to bear on the
authorities.

There are Servicemen’s
unions in WesL Germany and
Holland, where barrack-room
“shop stewards" represent the
interests of the mainly con-
script forces.

Servicemen in Britain arc
free to join trade unions
appropriate to particular
crafts, to help them find jobs

on their return to civilian life.
But they can only pay thier
subscriptions, and are not
allowed to negotiate over pay,
soil less take part in industrial
action.'

A ministry report said it was
thought that Mr Mulley had
meant no more than that, and
was merely repeating what was
already known. But officials
were seeking clarification Iasi
night.

Since 1970 . Armed Forces
pay bad been decided by the
Government after recommendn*
dons by the review body,
whose task it is to seek com-
parability with equivalent civil-
ian trades.

But a phase two. award in
April was accompanied by a
rise in' food and accommoda-
tion charges, and some Service-
men lost money as a result.
Many are taking second jobs
in the evening to supplement
their incomes.

Two more city areas for
partnership schemes

Two inner-city areas have
been added to die five named
for assistance through partner-
ship schemes between central
and local government : the
Newcastie/Gateshead comirba-
tipn on Tyneside, and the Lon-
don boroughs of Hackney and
Islington.

Mr Shore, Secretary of State
for tbe Environment, told the
Commons yesterday that the
partnership areas would take
precedence after the assisted
areas, but ahead of the new
and expanding towns, in the
allocation of industrial develop-
ment certificates.

The Government had identi-
fied 15 local authorities merit-
ing special attention : North aod
South Tyneside, Sunderland.
Middlesbrough, Bolton, Oldham
Wirral, Bradford. Hull, Leeds,
Sheffield. Wolverhampton.
Leicester, Nottingham and the

London borough of Hammer-'

smith. T

Each would get powers to
make loans and declare indus-
trial improvement areas- They
would receive up to £25m from
1979-80 from me urban . pro-
gramme. .

Mr Shore drew a distinction
yesterday between the £100m
aid for die construction indus-
try in umer-ciry. areas during
the present - and . coming
financial years, and the partner-
ship schemes which take fuB
effect on April l, 1979.

Concern on parental
choice of school

By Diana Geddes
Education Correspondent

Tbe. National Union of
Teachers expressed concern
yesterday over some of the pro-
posals for legislation contained
in the controversial consul-
tation-paper of rite Department
of Education and Science on
parental choice of schools.

A delegation of the union
told Miss Jackson, Parliamen-
tary Under-Secretacy at the
department, that the proposals
might lead to the creation of a
“ social hierarchy M of schools
in an area.

Members of the science and
education subcommittee of the
Labour Party executive have
also voiced concern on that
point. Pressure has been
brought to bear on Mrs Wil-
liams, Secretary of State for
Education and Science.

In the debate on the Queen’s
Speech Mrs Williams said
parents should be given an
opportunity . to .express a pre-
ference for a . school and to
have that preference rakvn
fuHy into account, “ along with
ail the other relevant; factors
such as the need for local
authorities, as school rolls fall,
to be able to deploy their
resources effectively, to. run an
efficient education service,
and, in the case of-, secondary
schools, - to operate, a satisfac-
tory co m pre h ensive system.”

Some members of the
Labour Party have compkutied
that the ■ consultation docu-
ment, issued in ' October,
wnmgfr elevated i parental
choice to be. the maid criterion
in the allocation- of popils to

threaten the basic principle of
comprehensive schooling.

Commenting on Mrs Wil-
liams’ speech in the Commons
last Friday, Mr Bryan Davies,
Labour MP for Enfield. North,
spoke for many of his collea-
gues in the Labour Party when
he said that . any legislation
that emphasized parental
choice would mean that it
would be the best informed
parents and those who . could

Tbe state also had an impor-
tant obligation to children
from poor homes who had less

school of his parents’ choice

argued, would hinder

tional opportunity, . and thereby

“ would . adversely affect Uic
efficient provision of education

or die school was unsuitable to
the, age, ability or aptitude of
the child.

Parents dissatisfied with the
decision should have the right
of appeal first to the local edu-
cation authority and then to . the
Secretary of State.

Mrs Williams believed that a
parent’s choice of school in a
particular local authorin' area
could not be rejected simply
because the parent did nor live
in that area.

Mrs Williams hopes to in-
clude legislation on parental
choice in an education Bill this
session if their is parliamen-
tary time.

Life jail for
murder of

Capt Nairac

jjitnin-

wiirin

jcari't

Liam Patrick Townson, aged
34. was found guilty at the
Special Criminal Court in
Dublin yesterday of the murder
of Caprain Robert Nairac, the
British Guards officer. He was
sentenced to life imprisonment.

Mr Townson, from co
Armagh, had denied murdering
Captain Nairac, aged 29, who
disappeared on a special mis-
sion for the Army in Northern
Ireland in May. His body has
not been found. .

The .court was told that Mr
Town son shot him through the
head near the Irish border
scon after he disappeared. He
was said to have told ill**
police that Captain Nairac had
pleaded to see a priest.

Mr Townson was sentenced
to an additional five years, to
run concurrently, for possess-
ing firearms. He had pleaded
not guilty to tbe murder and
four firea"rm charges. The court
made no finding on the remain- .
ing counts.

Mr Justice Darcy, President
of the court, told him: “We
arc satisfied beyond reasonable
do'ibt ’hat the only possible
interpretation of the statement
is that vnu 'hot and killed the
captain”.

Much of Mr Town son's trial
was tauen up dealing with the
.— ir.iissibility of statements he 1(
made to tbe police, including ■:

that underlines the importance

Planning law
obscurity
is cleared up

By Our Planning Reporter

An apparent obscurity in the
planning laws, which persuaded
a local authority chat it would
be liable for compensation if
it refused an appUcairpoti, seems
to hare been clarified.

As reported in The Tunes last
Friday, the Vale of White
Horse District Council, Oxford-
shire, considered that outline
’ planning permission for a house
at Shellingford, granted in 1973,
was nil! valid because details
had been submitted within the
statutory three-year period,
even though they bad been re-
jected.

The council's planning com-
mi tree decided on Monday even-
ing that it could treat the appli-
cant's revised submission as a
new application.

The Department of the En-
viron men’s view that refusal of
a detailed application within
ibe period does not prolong the
undine permission is supported
by a report in The Journal of
Planning and Environment Lata
of March, 1975.

It cites a 1969 judgment in
which Lord Denning concluded
that submission of details with-
in three years could not eli-
minate the time Hind*. Plan
after plan could be submitted,
he stated, but if none was
approved no more could be
submitted after three years.

Three young
arsonists'
terrorized

Three teenagers conducted a
campaign of terror by starting
fires at tower blocks of flats
because they were bored, Mr
P- J. Ryan, die recorder, was
told at Reading Crown Court
yesterday.

They started more than 0
dozen fires in rubbish chutes

door of one flat, m two 14-
storey blocks at Reading, it was
stated. Once a WhoAe block was

On the beat, 3: Why senior policemen refuse promotion that means loss of overtime

When the rewards are not appropriate to the dangers

By Peter Evans, -

Home Affairs Correspondent

The alarm clock went off at
about 3 am. Police Constable
Peter Rush got up and made a
cup of coffee. His wife. Sue,
confessed later that she had
hardly slept that night. “ I was
very much on edge”, she said.
She had begun feeling like that
only since her husband was
called to duty at the Gran wick
dispute.

PC Rush did not feel like
eating anything before driving
off to Harrow Road, where he
has been stationed since he
joined the Metropolitan Police
13 years ago.

There, at the 4.15 am parade,
he heard a chief inspector giv-
ing advice, mainly for the
benefit of the young policemen
on whom much of the burden
of ordinary policing falls be-
cause so many experienced men
have left the force. The advice
was of restraint : Don't get
involved; keep together ; don't
respond to Darting or break
ranks to let them through.

The coach left at 430 am and
disgorged the Harrow Road
contingent to join others- for
breakfast strategically near
Grun wick’s .

Outside the gates be and his
fellow officers waited and
watched. Some local demonstra-
tors arrived, but word got
round that coaches coining down

the Ml carrying more pickets
had been delayed -by fog.
Officers joked among them-
selves that it would be a good
idea if the Police Federation
came along carrying a banner
too.

The crowd thickened. PC
Rush said afterwards : “We
were being iesuked by some of
the people making speeches.
Blokes were trying to get in-
volved in arguments. We were
accused of provoking them by
being there. The double-decker
bringing in the workers iw
late and we ware accused of
assisting them to get in.”

The Special Patrol Group
escorted the bus in. “We were
right in front of the gates.
Then the crowd tried to break
through. We had our backs to
them, arms linked. You get
lacked in the back and legs.
It is bard to pick anyone out.
They only do it when your back
is to them."

. PC Rash was also m the fore-
front of the police action when
violence broke out at the Not-
tiog Tlrli carnival. He had been
traaned to c ar r y a riot shield,
but found himself without one,
along with other officers form-
ing a human wall across Porto-
beilo Road, helping to seal off
the trouble area.

At 10 pm his wife, who had
seen the confrontation on tele-
vision (“I must be a bit of a
masochist”) telephoned the

station to find out what
happened vo ham, as he had
not returned home.

She was told there was no
news of his being injured, so
he would be eH right. “Don't
expect bim until 2 am or 3 am.”
She stayed awake until be
arrived safely.

Police-constable Rush says
that the public do not know
about the risks that poMcemen
take in the ordinary course of
their jobs, in spi te of pubHci^
given to exceptional incidents.

He was on duty late at night
when a woman in a public
house telephoned to say she
had seen intruders in a con-
fectioner's next door. To get in,
he and other officers woke the
people in the next house and
edged along a six-inch ledge
high above the street. One of
the burglars tried to escape that
way, so “we chased him”.

Sometimes policemen are
injured. One was pushed into
a disused Kft shaft. Another was
pushed out of a second-floor
window while holding on to a
burglar and ended up at base-
ment I eve? sitting in an old
armchair.

Because there is a tradition
of sons and even daughters
Following fathers into police
service, the pressure can affect
whole families. Detective Chief
Superi men dent Frank Cater,
head of ihe illegal immigrants’
and extradition squad at Scot-

land Yard, has two sous in die
force. Both have been injured.

Mr Cater was the man who
snapped the handcuffs on the
wrists of Reginald Kray, thus
helping to end a notorious crime
empire. With other detectives
Mr Cater burst into the home
of the Kray twins at 6 am. “ We
found Reggie and Ronnie in
bed. They were sound asleep.
They were handcuffed before
they woke up.”

He and other officers may
make headlines with the cases
the; clear up, but their polite
dismay about pay has been
drowned by the campaign of
the Police Federation, which
represents ranks up to chief
inspector.

On an important inquiry when
“you may get no sleep at all
in the first 48 hours and hardly
a change of shirt”, they can
expect to earn less than lower
ranks who are entitled to over-
tkne pay. Of uniformed chief
inspectors in the Metropolitan
Police, 79 per cent earn more
than bottom rate superinten-
dents, who lose overtime on
promotion.

The result is that some chief
inspectors do not want promo-
tion, as they get more money
for taking less responsibility.
The police chiefs do nor
begrudge the men their due
reward for danger, long hours
and stress. Nor do those I talked
to want overtime. But they do

feel that they should get enough
pay to cover their extra respon-
sibility.

During an Inquiry led by Det
Chief Supt Raymond Small into
the murder of a man found
badly slashed io a bath, anotner
body was discovered in the boot
of a car, decomposed so badly
that fingerprints could not be
taken, and the investigations
turned np other offences that
brought in 30 other prisoners.
The _ statements taken in the
inquiry are neatly bound io
nine volumes, each rhe length of
a novel, on the shelf of his
office.

Both Mr Small and Mr Cater
have worked in A10, the branch
created by Sir Robert Mark as
part of his drive against cor-
ruption. A10 investigates serious
complaints against the police.

That was like a stick. Police-
men feel that the carrot should
be enoogb pay to reduce the
possibility of temptation. The
policeman is in a unique
position to contrast the rewards
of sin and virtue.

Through plain clothes work on
vice patrol, PC Rush knows of
prostitutes being able to earn
between £150 and £200 a night.
Thar cannot buy them peace of
mind, but he sometimes wonders
about society’s values. “He has
become more cynical now", his
wife says.

Ulster drive
against
the pirate
taxis

From a Correspondent
Belfast

The Northern Ireland Office
is about to sort a campaign
against Belfast’s so-called
"black taxi" fleets which, iL
believes, contribute funds tu
the Provisional IRA and
“ loyalist ’’ terror organizations.
The mis have cost the publicly
owned City-bus Company an esti-
mated £2m a year in lost
revenues for several years.

The Government's planned
drive against the taxis comes
after tre successor the recenr

Royal Ulster Constabulary cam-
paign. against the terrorist!. -
other main source of income,
ihe unlicensed drinking dubs
or shebeens.

Already several dozen
* black taxi ” drivers have pro-
secutions pending for operating
without adequate insurance and
are no longer cm the road.
Others have had their vehicles
condemned in receiu public ser-
vice vehicle tests.

The Government’s most effec-
tive move against the pirate
taxis, however, will be rigid
enforcement of the law requir-
ing cabs plying fgor hire 10
display hackney carriage plate.

The battered cabs, often
carrying eight or 10 passengers,
operate 15p and 20p flat-fare
shuttle services from the centre
of Belfast along the Falls,
Shan kill and Shore roads.

In both republican and
loyalist areas tltey have often
been used in shooting attacks
and armed robberies and for
occasional abductions.

Evidence ihat the drive
against them is beginning to be
felt is reflected in a recent in-
creased demand for bus ser-
vices along the Falls and Shan-
kili roads. Citybus has recently
pur extra vehicles on each
route.

The Provisionals’ response in
the Fails area has been a spate
of bus burnings and armed rob-
beries of bus drivers in an
attempt to protect the former
virtual monopoly of the 350
“ blac taxis ” in the area.

In the loyalist Shankiil and
Shore road areas about 150 cabs
are alleged to contribute re-
venue to the illegal Ulster

Volunteer Force and the Ulster
Defence Association.

Shops warned : The police
warned shopkeepers and shop-
pers yesterday of a possible
new IRA fire-bomb campaign in

Ulster in die last two weeks.

How informant disclosed Cabinet
secrets on the child-benefit scheme

By Peter Hennessy
Mr Frank Field, director of
he Child Poverty Action
Group, will disclose today one
if the techniques ‘used for
lasting secret information by
■he source who last year leaked
o him a verbatim account of
.'abinet discussions on the
Jiild benefit scheme.

"Deep Throat”, as Mr Field
alls his informant, would
' ransmil information with other
>cople present while taking
>arr in a discussion. Mr Field
-ould ask individuals wbat
‘u-y thought die most likely
* jurse of events would be on a
articular issue. They would
•eplv in turn and Mr Field
.vouid treat “ Deep Threads “
insurer as definitive.

la his Quetta Rabley

Memorial Lecture. to be

Jelivered this afternoon at
■♦ourhwark College, south Lon-
Ijii, Mr Field will explain how
his method enabled him to
:onnnunicate with “ Deep

niraar" without incurring
•uspiciou. The device was
-specially useful during the
nvestigarion ordered by the
Prime Minister after extracts
from tlie Cabinet minutes had
xen published by Jfiettr Society

in an article by Mr Field In
June 1976.

“Once the official investiga-
tions were under way into the
Cabinet -leak, it was of crucial
importance that Deep Throat
and I knew what each othec
was thinking and saying. 1
relayed as much information as
possible about my moves, wbat
I was and was not saying, over
the radio and television and in
tiie newspapers ”, Mr Field
says.

“ I also asked Deep Throat’s
advice on what I should be
doing. Whenever Deep Throat
w as part of a group of people
who wanted to talk about the
Cabinet leak, I would a-dc what
tbev thought ‘Deep Throar*
would suggest as rhe next move.
Much advice was offered by
this means, including ibe
crucial advice from -Deep
Throap'.

“ By using this redwaquf^
and with die help of the media
who relayed so much informa-
tion as legitimate news, I never
contemplated clandestine meet-
ings or trying to make contact
by telephone. The tappings of
my telephones were therefore
unsuccessful.”

Without naming him, Mr
Field discloses bow Mr Wedg-
wood Benn, Secretary of State

for Energy, disposed of Mr
Callaghan's attempt to hove him
questioned about the leak, along
with other Ministers, by Com-
mander Roy Baberabon of Scot-
land Yard. Mr Benn told the
Prime Minister that if he was
ordered to meet, Commander
Habersboo, be woirid ask Lord
Hoahham of St Marylebone to
be present as ins legal adviser.
Nothing more was heard from
No 10.

Mr Field explains textual in-
accuracies in the documents
disclosed by his New Society
article, io accuracies which led
die official Civil Service inquiry
into the leak, Jed by Sir Doug-
las Allen, bead of the home
Civil Service, to conclude tint
it had been perpetrated by a
junior official scribbling notes
in haste os secret documents
passed across his desk. Mr Field
is in the habit of dictating his
articles and in this way errors
crept in. He later destroyed the
documents in his possession
from which be was reading
atoaid.

Mr Field sought and secured
the permission of “ Deep
Throat " to make today's dis-
closures. Neither Sir Douglas
Allen nor Commander Haber-
shon succeeded in identifying
the informant.

Man freed after
being held six
months for trial

Gordun Orchard, aged 45, was
-freed with an 18-month sus-
pended jail sentence at die
Central Criminal Court on Mon-
day after he had been accused
ur murder and manslaughter.

Noise council urges limits
for helicopters

By Our Planning Reporter

The relatively new and, in
most areas, still limited
nuisance of helicopter noise has
grown enough to attract the
attention «£ the Noise Advisory
Council.

In a report published yester-
day the council observes that
so far it is mainly small coastal
, communities that have suffered
[ from helicopter operations by
I tiie Armed Services. The only
I scheduled helicopter service in
j Britain at present is between
Penzance and the Isle of Scilly.

But the growth of the off-
shore o:I industry in Scotland
and the importance attached by
businessmen to short journey
times mean that the use qf heli-
enprers is likely to increase.
With uncontrolled growth, their
noise in urben areas might re-

f u'eseat a nuisance in the
uture.

Amung tire measures the re-
port recommends are the impo-
sition of noise limits, modified
flying techniques, including
steeper angles of approach, and
a revision of present policy on
routes. Research work by
manufacturers into reducing
noise should be supported, and
consideration given to amend-
ing planning latvs to regulate
rhe use of private sites, k is
argued.

The report finds no justifi-
cation for increasing traffic at
Battersea heliport, and says the
possibilit of a new site farther
east, convenient for the City

and not requiring helicopters ta
overfly west or ceutral London,
should be examined.

Man stripped
of ‘virtually
everything ’

Ron aid Eric Swords-Iindsay,
aged 59, was jailed at Oxford
Crown Court yesterday for four

He also admitted stealing
£1,759 from the Royal Inair-
ance Company and asked for

Mr Louis Borrett, for the pro-
secution, said that Mr Swords.
Lindsay used Mr Woodward's

penses and to payy off liabili-

Mr Swords-Iindsay, formerly
of Great Milton. Oxfordshire,

Six years for stabbing PC

A judge at the Central
Criminal Court, jailing a young
Mill wall football supporter for
six vears for wounding a police
officer, gave a warning on
Monday that any supporter con-
ricted of using an offensive
weapon could expect no mercy.

In a strong attack on football
hooligans. Judge King-Hamilmn,
QC, spoke of a minority bent
os creating havoc and said that
they should not be surprised if
they were dealt with very
severely.

Derek Thompson, aged 19, a
warehouseman, of Forest Hill,
London, was found guilty of
wounding Police Constable
Patrick Heaiy, aged 23, with
intent to cause him grievous
bodily harm. He had denied

Thompson stabbed the officer
twice in rhe back. Mr Thomp-
son said that be had taken the
knife to the match at Stamford

Public school
ethic ‘ in some
comprehenstves’

Comprehensive schools that
continue to foster the Victorian
public school ethic of leader-
ship, based a on a purely
academic curriculum and sport,
were criticized on Honda; by
Mr Oakes, Minister of State for
Education and Science. That
ethic was one of the reasons for
the poor image of industry in
schools, he suggested.

Addressing a conference on
industry and education in the
European Economic Community
at the Lancashire College for
Adult Education, he said that
a public school ethic of leader-
ship, founded on sport and a
wholly academic curriculum
with its outlets in colonial
administration, the universities,
and the professions such as the
Church and the law, developed
imperial consciousness.

“That tradition continued in
direct-grant and other grammar
schools, which aped ihe public
schools as closely as possible.
A small number of comprehen-
sives foster it still-*’

Conspiracy
ow illegal
immigrants
alleged

By a Staff Reporter

An international conspiracy
to import illegal immigrants
from Jadfa and Pakistan into
Britain was alleged at the
Central Criminal Court yester-

Itwrvolved the use of genuine
British passports, which had
been obtained by means of
cextifLca

bogus birth certificates stolen
from Somerset House in 1973.
The police, it was alleged,
broke up the group operating
die racket after immigration
officers at Folkestone had be-
come suspicious of three Asians
who arrived on a ferry from
OstencL One was unable to re-
tie bts tie after being searched,
and none could fully understand
English.

Sunned Gill, aged 24, of
Holly Road, Northampton,
pleaded not guilty to conspiring
to make untrue statements in
order to procure passports and
conspiring to obtain. British
passports containing false
particulars so as to secure the
entry of people he knew to be
illegal immigrants.

Mr Brian Watling, far the
prosecution, said: "This de-
fendant is part of a larger inter-
national conspiracy to import
illegal entrants into this coun-
try."

He said that people who
wanted bogus passports were
found in India by Mr Agjt GOL
the defendant’s uncile. Mr Gill
was now in and unlikely

to return to Britain.

Surinder Gill had acted as a
go-between for his unde and
Arnold Futerman, a fanner
salesman at Gieves and Hawkes,
the Saviie Row tailors, Mr Wal-
ling said. Mr Futerman, aged
53, bad pleaded guilty at a sep-
arate bearing to charges similar
to those denied by Mr Surinder
Gill.

Mr Futerman, Mr Wading
alleged, had a contact in
Switzerland, a Kim Maharaj-
After Indian or Pakistan custo-
mers had been found by Mr
Ajit Gill or Mr Maharaj, details
necessary for passport applica-
tions were sent either directly
to Mr Futerman or indirectly
to him through Surinder GUI.

The hearing continues today.

Tour company’s

promise
on timetables

A British package-holiday
igency promised yesterday to
iperate all the charter flights
n its 1978 programme, even if
jnjy one passenger turns up
:or a flight.

The move by Cosmos Holi-
jays heralds a possible end to
he situation where times of
lights and even airports for
i apart ore and destination me
titered after bookings, because
uncraft are not f ulL

Mr Sidney Silver, managing
li rector of Cosmos, said yester-
lay : “We are guaranteeing to
operate like a scheduled airline
jut ar competitive charter
i rices". The premium, people
mid to take holiday flights on
i s cheduled airline was no
onger necessary.

Thomson Holidays yesterday
sported its 100,000th booking
or next summer. "Early de-
itarrd for holidays has been
ugber than at any time since

Debate held in shadow of Vatican declaration on ethics

Synod initiates a search for new
standards of Christian sexuality

By Clifford Langley
Religious Affairs Correspondent

In a mood of disenchantment
with tradteocai sexual nsorafity
yesterday, tire General Synod
of tiie Church of England set
fa tram the search for a new
set Of standards to make better
sense Of such issues as con-
tra cepttn, masturbation and
premarital sexual intercourse.

Tlie synod voted by a
majority of more then two
hundred for a motion declaring
that “the time has come for a
new look at die whole Christian
theology of sexuality in the
light of present theological and
psychiatric understanding

The debate was partly an
echo of decisions in the Roman
Catholic Church. It began with
ft motion proposed by Canon
Douglas Rhymes, of Southwark,
critical of tine recent Vatican
Declaration on Sexual Ethics.
He referred repeatedly to a
recto book by Dr Jack Dobe-
naan, a Roman OacfroMc psy-
chiatrist, entitled Proposals for
a New Sexual Ethic. The book
takes issue with, die Vatican
declaration.

Canon Rhymes said pari-
taoism and the Playboy philo-
sophy states from the Maaii-
ctbaean premise that the flesh
is evil: “the one beKeving that
as a result lit should be morti-
fied, the other tine because it
is evil 9c does not manner how
modi you trivialize and degnde

“ We need dearly to get away
from the ‘gover nm ent heafrh
waning * attitude to sexuality.
If we are to be constructively
against the appalling mechani-
cal attitudes to sexuality of the
so-called permrssrve society, in
which the bondage of knowing
all the cecfanques has replaced,
tie bondage of * thou sbrit not \
then we most far more easriy
be able to make positive state-
ments about Use goodness of
sexual relationships and sexual
values and be able an speak fa
sexual terms of the value of
love, coggnianent ; joy sod
creativity.”

He akreed to withdraw the
port o fh*s motion that men-
anode the Vatican because be
did not feel it was vitsd to his
main point.

The Rev Michael Savrard, of
London, summarized traditional
Christian teaching on sexuality
as “ Dangerous, Dirty ana
Don’t” The Church bad a
terrible record, with nothing to
be proud of, he sad. “ I hope
we shall not let Malcolm
Muggeridge be the only person
who speaks on tins .subject.
But any statement we produce
must not disorder te essentials
of Christian tQotajBty."

The debate was a preliminary
skknrish between traditional
and liberal synod me m bers .
Full reports mid debates on
marriage and on homosexuality
are due next yea*. Many of the
senior dergy and btsbops were

their

keeping
powder . <fey, and yesterday’s
debate brought no great battle
once Canon Rhymes bad modi*
fieri h£s motion.

Canon David A. J. Stevens,
of Peterborough, who had

TUC promises not to
penalize new union

By Our Labour Staff

A union faced with expulsion
from the TUC over a recruiting
dispute bad die threat lifted In
the High Court yesterday.

The Engineers’ and Managers*
Association was given an under-
taking by the TUC that it would
not be suspended, nor would it
face any other penalty, as a
result or a “ refusal or failure ”
to comply with an award of the
TUC disputes committee on
March 16.

The hearing arose as a result
ofa writ served by the as so da-
don on the TUC over the
disputes committee award,
which had recommended that
300 professional engineers at
GEC Reactor Equipment Ltd.
Whetstone, London, should be
represented by the Technical,
Administrative and Supervisory
Section (Tass) of the Amal-
gamated Union of Engineering
Workers.

The EMA was created earlier
this year by the Electrical

Power Engineers’ Association to
recruit and represent profes-
sional, technictiand managerial
staffs in industry. Its recruit-
ment drive has caused a serious
dash with Tass.

Hie TUC’s undertaking not
to take disciplinary action
against the EMA is effective
until judgment or further order.
The association said in a state-
ment that the TUC hod dropped
tiie demand that the k should
advise its members at GEC/
REL to join Tass.

It added: “The EMA now
expects the Advisory, Con-
ciliation and Arbitration Service
(Acas) inquiry into its recog-
nition claim at GEC7REL to
proceed immediately.” The
EMA has not been required to
cease recruitment.

The general council of Acas
is due today to consider an
application by the EMA for
recognition at GEC- REL under

Secretary ‘dismissed because of his sex’

a male
secretary, was
se of his

By Annabel Ferriman

Mr Anwar Amor,
secretary

dismissed because ot ms sex
and his refusal to make coffee
and sandwiches, an industrial
tribunal in London was told
yesterday.

In February he lost his
£3,500 post at General Produce
and Fibres Ltd, of London
Bridge, after seven months as
secretary to Mr Muazaffar
Peracba, the chairman. The
company maintains that the
reasons were hs late arrivals,
he refusal to work revised office
hours until 6 pm every day or
to work on Saturdays unless he
was paid overtime.

Mr Amer, aged 32, of South
Norwood, London, contends that
the real reason was his sex, and
he is demanding reinstatement
under tbe Trade Union and
Labour Relations Act. He also
alleges that be was denied pro-
motion because of his sex and
was paid less than female secre-
taries in the company.

He told tbe tribunal Chat

when he was first taken on by
the firm in July, 1976, he was
paid E2J700, whereas the other
secretaries were receiving about
£3,500. In October he saw die
job as secretary to the manag-
ing director advertised in The
Times at £3,500 and applied for
it. Because he had done the job
occasionally on a part-time basis
he thought he would be success-
ful, but he was rejected.

He asked for an equivalent
salary and on December 1 was
given it. On February 12 he
asked for overtime payments
for the Saturday mornings he
had worked, but ws told that
he was supposed to work those
in place of working until 6 pm

every day. He was dismissed six
days later.

He said he bad refused to
work after 530 pm bat had been
willing to work on Saturday
mornings instead. He had gone
in on Sera-days when required
but expected to get paid tor it.
Tth: employer often complained
that he would not make him
tea or coffee or a sandwich.’

Mr Peracba, who lute Mr

Amer, comes from Pakistan,
said he was dissatisfied with Mr
Amer because he refused to
work late m tire evenings and
to do the personal tilings ex-
pected of a secretary. He ex-
pected a secretary to sew on a
button occasionally and take off
his coax.

His present secretary, who
was paid £4,000 a year, . was
prepared to make doctors’ ap-
pointments for his wife, to
organize cleaners for his house,
and make arrangements regard-
ing his chauffeur, he said.

Mr Peracba admitted that
when Mr Amer had demanded
a pay increase he bad written
a note to the man aging director,
suggesting that Mr Amer should
be given a rise until “ a redly
live-wire lady secretary” cmdd
be found. He bad never meant
that and had written it lmder
stress.

Mr Amer should not have
expected overtime payments for
Saturday mornings because none
of the other secretaries got
tihidU*

The hearing is to be resumed.

Risks to children at home and in shops

By Our Health Services
Correspondent

Shopping areas are designed
mainly for fit adults and it is
not surprising that toddlers get
their fingers or feet caught in
escalators or that a lot of
“pulled elbows” happen in
supermarkets. Dr Cynthia
Illingworth, consultant m
paediatric accidents at tite
Children's Hospital, Sheffield,
said yesterday.

Pulled elbow is a condition
often brought about by .lifting
a small child off its feet by
one arm. Dr Illingworth, who
was addressing a conference on
emergencies and the chilffs
environment, arranged by the
Royal CoHege of Physicians,
London, cited the Injury asan
example of what might arise
when a mother has to manage

a baby, the pram and her
toddler as well as the shopping.

A study of the circu m sta n c es
in which accidents in the home

vided a horrifying ptetwe of
dangerous windows and stair-
cases, balconies without rails,
and badly designed equipment,
especially in kitchens.

Surveying accidents to child-

ment Dr XllmgWaifo safid that
climbing frames produced the
highest proportion of serious
injuries- Some equipment
attracted children too old ta bs

was not true that dimbing

Mitterrand optimism
on Union of the Left

From Charles Hargrove
Paris, Nov 8

, Although the French Comma*
nist Party Iras rejected M Mit-
terrand's offer fast weekend of
an unoopdirioaal resumption of
negotiations, the Socialist 'leader
said today that as agreement
between the three parties of the
left remained posable.

Speaking to -economic jour-
nalists, be denied that he had
tried to impose a diktat on the
Communists. On tbe co n trary,
he said, his offer bed proposed,
a new meeting, without delay
and wthnut preconditions.

In on agr eement is still pos-
sible, there is no sign of it Tbs
Socialist Party congress fast
weekend marked a further
widening of the breach. M
Mitterrand showed renewed de-
termination not to compromise
either with the Communists, or
with fats own left wing, the
Ceres, which had put forward
tentative proposals.

Be said today that the
Socialist Party had approached
-the Communists about the re-
sumption of negotiations on the
issue of nation ofization, over
which the fast “ summit ” meet
iug codfapsed.

Ln any case, with or without
an. agree m ent between the par-
ties of the left, the Socialist pro-
postils “are bettor than wh at
the right proposes ”, M Mitter-
rand said. Has pro p osals ~in«
dude the mptero egtacon of the'

fallowing measures within the
first few weeks of a left-wing

government coming to power:
fo

retirement at CO for men and
55 for women ; increase of the
national minimum monthly
wage to 2^00 francs (£253) from
the present 1,700 francs; rais-
ing of family allowances by 50
per cent over two years ; and a
fifth week of paid holiday a
year.

M Georges Marchais, the
Communist secretary-general,
bad ye s terday described M Mit-
terrand's proposal for a resump
tion of negotiations as * more a
diktat than a serious suggestion
design ed to make matters move
forward”.

Returning to the subject to-
day. M Marchais said the
Socialist leader had “not been
honest towards the Commu-
nists ” in his speeds, at the
Socialist congress ou Sunday.
Thera had never been any dis-
cussion between Communists
and Socialists on the distribu-
tion of portfolios in a govern-
ment of the' left, as he bad
alleged.

Exchange
plan to free
Polisario’s

t il*

hostages

From Ian Murray
Paris, Nov 8

France is investigating the
possibility of securing tbe
release of 13 French hostages
held by tbe Polisario Front by
arranging titer exchange for
Polisario prisoners held else,
where.

President Giscard d’Estaing
sent M Ren6 Joorniac, bis per
son el advisor on African
Affairs, on a discreet visit to
Mauritania last week and to
obtain a list of prisoners held

in Mauritania who might be
suitable for such an exchange.

The Polisario leaders, in
their negotiations with M
Claude Chayet, the Foreign
Office emissary sent to Algiers,
made it clear that they did not
regard their captives as
hostages bur as prisoners of
war. In their eyes France was
a hostle power because it had
failed to recognize them, but
instead supported Mauritania
and Morocco, with whom they
were at war.

Polisario guerrillas, backed
by Algeria, are fighting for the
independence of Western
Sahara, foe former Spanish
colonv divided between
Morocco and Mauritania last
year. . , . .

M Chavet, who said on bia
return to’ Paris last night that
he expected to be going back
to Algiers for further talks, u
likely to be given a hst of
Polisario captives held in
Mauritania who .might be

Council decision fast Friday to
Impose a total arms sales ban
on foe Pretoria Government

France informed South
Africa on Saturday that foe
embargo would be respected,
but there has been no exchange
since on how the details of the
ban are to be enforced. France
has a wide range of arms con-
tracts with . South Africa,
and French weapons are also
bmlx hi South Africa under
licence. :

M de Gmringaud, foe
Foreign Minister, .stated in
August that France would sign
no new .arms contracts with
South Africa, but said at foe

time that the outstanding
one, particuaariy those for foe

honoured.

The Security Council deci-
sion has altered this position,
bat France has now got to
work out foe involved legal
processes necessary to end foe
contracts and to stop foe
licencing arrangements — part
of foe Security Council reso-
lution which France was
reluctant to support.

This explains why foe South

THE TIMES WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 9 1977

e?

From GurCorrespondeot
Madrid,.N0v8

Edarions ' between the
Spanish Commaaist Party and
Moscow appear to have reached
an-riL-time low' as'-a result oi
the dispute between Zsnor
Santiago, CarriJto.aiid the Kre-ra-
lfo:.kadershij> over the speech
which- be wanted ro deliver
during "me anniversary ceJebra-

- Bolshevik

Revota-

tious af the

riOfl . .

MW have been the CTfer-
ences.- between Senor Carrillo
and. .the -Kre mlin . • He cod-
damned the 1968 intervention
in Czechoslovakia and his book
Eurocommimisx and the State
provoked accusations -.of traitor
to the Soviet' cause. From the
version . ■ given . by' Tass as to
what happened' -last week in
Moscow xt seems Senor Carrillo
is- now regarded. as a Kar.

Tass . insisted that Sen or
Carrillo was not banned from
making , his speech but arrived
too late: to deliver it. Senor
Carrillo is adamant that he was
banned and last night- boy*
cotted the reception given by
the Soviet Embassy in Madrid
to "mark the anniversary.

Nevertheless, the Spanish
party has no intention of
breaking with Moscow. “ That
woidd be to behave like a
child ”, ' a member of the
executive committee said. On
the other hand, the Spanish
party, is not expecting to see
much of MoscOw in the near
future either in the form of
visits there or to receive
delegations in Madrid.

Senor Carrillo’s speech, which
he has since said he tore tip,
would have been no stronger
than the one given by Signor
Enrico Berlin guer, the Italian
leader, the source said. Only
passing reference would have
been made to the pa rt y ’s con-
ception of socialism in Spain.
Sehor Carrillo did not go to
, Moscow to insult it to. its face.
The Spanish party believes
that the Kremlin may be trying
to split the Eurocommunist
movement, or it could be that
preference was given to Signor
Berlinguer because his party is
very much nearer to power
lion that in Spain.

But although Senor Car-
rillo’s party is small and has
only 20 seats in Congress, the
. lower House of the Cortes, the
Kremlin, the source said,
regards him as a far more
serious threat.

The ** hawks ” in the Kremlin
are outraged by bis outspoken
theories — chat socialism ran
only come to developed
Western countries through
respect For democracy — while
the “ doves ” want to take a
‘ softer line realizing that the
. kind of treatment given him is
counterproductive.

The party believes that the
■' hawks won the day because of
- rhe continued and obsessive
fear which Moscow has over
the seeds of discontent which
Senor Carrillo could sow in rhe
East European countries. The
Kremlin fears that his waving
of the flag of independence
from Moscow could have sen
ous repercussions.

The Spanish party feels that
Moscow now regrets wban it has
done and neither side knows
what will be the next step.
Senor Carrillo has no intend on
of renouncing his foreign policy
. ideas with Eurocommunism as
a separate force from Nato and
rhe Warsaw Pact. He left for
Yugoslavia today for a meeting
with President Tito and then
goes ou to Rome to see Signor
Berlinguer.

The party will continue to
broaden its contacts. The source
said that as a result of the
latest Moscow treatment, it
would probably be easier to
starr relations between the
parry and China.

But the visit which Moscow
most dislikes is the one next
week when Senor Carrillo goes
to the United Stares as the first

" ' invited Eurocommunist leader.

' tacts with the Carter Admini-

worldwide
war as IATA chiefs

up‘eartel role’

From Arthur Reed-
Air : Correspondent
Madrld^Nbv 8 "

. Executives of the world’s
major airlines are moving
rapidly - towards adopting a
free-for-all policy on fares
rather than having them fixed
by the- International Air Trans-
port Association.

-' Intend of all charging the
same prices,, as they do now,-'
airlines will be left to fight it
omr in the market place, one
IATA. executive said here today.

This new policy, which will
lead to cheaper air fares on
many international routes, was.
agreed by an' unpublidzecT meet-
ing of the influential executive
committee of IATA during its"
annual muring in Madrid this
week. ■

The ■ executive committee is'
alarmed by the growing critic-
ism of IATA as a “ price-fixing
cartel ”, which governments are
m aking as a result of the '
marketing of cheap-fare services
like the Skytrain on the North
Atlantic by Laker Airways, ■
non-IATA airline.

Industry leaders are anxious
to have a system tried for 12
months under which IATA will
establish broad marketing con-"
cepts. It will then be up- to
individual airlines, in competi-
tion with each other, to package
and price the flights.

Most of them are confident
that governments will soon dis-
cover that this will lead to such
confusion that they will be glad
to have IATA resume its tradi-
tional role in establishing fares.

Airline industry leaders are
also worried about the cost of

what they call environmental,
overkill ”-r-6evere - restrictions
on "-the noise that aircraft make
round airports. -

Their view is that the indus-
try should not be responsible
for aircraft' which were bought
in another age with the support
and certification of govern-
ments.

•The industry - estimates it
incurs charges of £120m a year
for noise suppression measures.
It believes that additional
charges will make ir more diffi-
cult:- to finance quieter aircraft.

..Executives are also express-
ing alarm at the .impact ' on
their finances of ■ the charges
made by governments for
oavigaa-oa services between
Countries. -- - ‘ .

Their feeling is .that- the "In-
dustry is befog “milked* by
excessive ' user charge. They
estimate that between 1974 and
1979 the cost of navigation will
have gone up by 500 per cent

Mr Knut HammarskjSId, the
director-genera] of IATA, com-
mented : “ The. indecent haste -
with winch some stains wish
to recover lOO^per cent or more
of their navigation -costs is
astonishing, bearing in' mind
the . concern . of these some
authorities for lower air fares.”

Airline executives are also
incensed at the growing policy
by governments to recover
from airlines the entire . cost
of security measures against
hijackings. They believe this
ienones the fact that ^be crime
of hijacking is aimed at gov-
ernments and society and not at
airlines, their . passengers and
crews.

In his annual report, - Mr
HwmnarsfcjSld said : * Charg-
ing a fee for ensuring basic
human rights — the freedom of
safe movement by air from one
country to another — isn’t that
close to a protection racket ? ”
Epjadrings appeal: An impas-
sioned appeal for governments
to put aside petty iwliticaJ con-
siderations in the fight against
hijackings won the unanimous
backing of the IATA meeting.

Mr Hammarskjold rebuked
governments' which had failed
• to ratify, the Tokyo, The Hague
and Montreal conventions
against hijacking.

IATA officials said 392 hijack
attempts had been made since
1959, of which 201 were success-
ful. Last year, about 2,000
passengefs-r-out of a total of

580 million— were , affected 7 by
19 hijack attempts, of which six
were successful.— Reuter and
UPL • V '

Our "Bonn Correspondent
writes : Lufthansa, the West
German . airline, cancelled
today’s fGght to and from
Algiers because there was no
agreement on adequate security
measures.

The West German Govern-
ment is understood to be press-
ing the Algerian Government to
allow West German security
men to check passengers and
luggage of Lufthansa fligh ts, as
is already being done at 13
other • airports where pre-
cautions are regarded as insuf-
ficient. "

Government sources said
Algeria had given an “ unsatis-
factory” Teply and efforts to
reach an agreement were con-
tinuing.

Tokyo stops
passports
to prevent

From Peter Haaeihurst
Tokyo, Nov 8

Under a new set of measures
designed to thwart the activi-
ties of Japanese terrorists, the
Government announced today
that the 5,500,000 valid Japan-
ese passports would be with-
drawn and replaced with new
documents.

Tbe derision was taken five
weeks after a group of armed
Japanese terrorists, carrying
false passports, h Hacked a
Japanese airliner in Dacca. They
then forced the Government to
release six prisoners and pay
mere than £3_3m in ransom
money to the terrorist group
calling Itself the Japanese Red
Army » exile. The five ter-
rorists and tbe six prisoners
were allowed to land in Algeria.

A government spokesman
said tonight that the Algerian
Government had so far ignored
requests for the return of the
prisoners and the ransom
money.

The Japanese nolice later dis-
covered that the hijackers, with
their arms concealed in tins of
biscuits, had bc<-M*-f the air-
liner at Bombay airport.

The Cablet also derided to
introduce a vriewr system for
the 'inspection of the luggage
and personal belonging of air
travellers. Japan Airlines will
introduce a double system of
checking passengers and lug-
gage at 17 international air-
ports.

Tokyo, Nov 8. — The Japanese
Government today approved the
"f ? -aerial police unit
to combat the Japanese Red
>\rmy terrorists.

TV producer’s refusal to disclose thoughts upheld

Editorial process protected from
investigation by U S court

New York, Nov 8. — Journal-
ists cannot be compelled to dis-
close the thoughts and opinions
they held when they were pre-
paring a news story, even if the
story is attacked in a libel suit,
a federal appeals court in
Manhattan has derided.

The strongly-worded derision
was described by lawyers in tbe
case as the first time that a
court bad ruled that tbe First
Amendment provided protection
against an inquiry into the
thought process of a journalist
being sued for libel.

In the two-to-one derision,
written' by Chief Judge Irving
Kaufman, the court reversed a
ruling by a lower court that
had ordered a broad inquiry in
a libel suit against the Colum-
bia Broadcasting System-

The suit was filed by former
Lieutenant-Colonel Anthony
Herbert, who contended that he
had been defamed by a CBS
programme in 1973, which cast
doubt on his charges that Army
officers bad covered up atroci-
ties by American troops in the
Vietnam war.

la preparing for the libel
action. Colonel Herbert’s law-
yers questioned Mr Barry
Lando, a producer of tbe pro-
gramme, who was named in the
suit together with Mr Mike
Wallace, a correspondent. Mr
Lando refused to answer some
questions about bis thoughts
and opinions in preparing the
programme, on the ground that
these questions infringed on an
editorial process protected by
the First Amendment.

Tbe federal district court
ruled that the inquiry into Mr

Lando’s thought process was
justified, because Colonel Her-
bert was a public figure whose
libel case would depend on
whether he could prove that the
programme involved actual
malice or reckless disregard of
the truth.

Reversing this ruling. Judge
Kaufman declared that the

S uestions about Mr Lando's
loughts and opinions “strike
to the bean of the vital human
component of the editorial
process. Faced with the possi-
bility of such an inquisition
reporters and journalists would
be reluctant to express their
doubts.

“The tendency would be to
follow the saCe course of
avoiding contention and con-
troversy— the antithesis of the
values fostered by the First
Amendment.

“ We cannot permit inquiry
into Lando’s thoughts, opinions
and conclusions to consume the
very values which the Sullivan
landmark decision sought to
safeguard.”

Tills was a referen-re i« ti*"
1964 case of The A eta York
Times versus Sullivan, which
resulted in the Supreme Court's
far-reaching decision that a
public figure must prove actual
malice or reckless disregard of
the truth in order io sustain a
libel claim.

Mr Richard Salant. President
of BS News, commented yester-
day that Judge Kaufman's de-
cision was “terribly, terribly
important”, because broad in-
quiries into tbe editorial process
could virtually wipe Sullivan
off the books.

Mr Floyd Abrams, a lawyer
who represented CBS in the
appeal, said that Judge
Kaufman’s decision was a sen-
sitive and eloquent affirmation
of First Amendment principles.

Mr Jonathan Lubeli, a lawyer
for Colonel Herbert, noted that
the appeals court was divided
on the issue and added that
" we certainly are considering
an appeal”. He said Colonel
Herbert was crying to call the
public’s attention to the conduct
of government in condoning war
Crimes.

Mr Lubcll said the ability of
any private citizen effectively
to criticize government, if rlib
press does not want to enter-
tain that criticism, has now
been Foreclosed under the guise
of freedom of the press.

The Herbert libel suit seeks
544m (about £24m) in damages
from the CBS defendants and
Atlantic Momhb magazine,
which printed an article about
the programme. In Judee
Knuhnan’s words, both the
programme and the article
“ cast serious doubts upon
Herbert’s veracity '* and con-
cluded that the American press
had been deluded by Herbert's
story.

The disputed questions that
the district court had ordered
Mr Lando to answer included
his conclusions about what
leads to follow in the Herbert
story

Judgc Kaufman instructed
the lower court judge to re-,
evaluate the questions “in
light of the principles articula-
ted in this opinion — New
York Times News Service.

Albanian
leader
heaps praise
on Stalin

Vienna, Nov 8. — Mr Mehmet
Sbehu, the Albanian Prime
Minister, underscored today his
country’s isolationist course as
be praised Stalin, denounced
the Soviet “ revisionists ” in
power, and refrained from men-
tioning communist China,
Albania’s ideological ally for
many years.

Tbe fresh commitment to
Stalinism and the anti-Soviet
stance was at the centre of Mr
Shehu’s speech made in Tirana,
on tbe occasion of die sixtieth
anniversary celebrations of the
Bolshevik Revolution.

“ The grandeur and the
momentum of the socialist
October Revolution and its
ideas are such that they cannot
in tbe least be tarnished by any
betrayal, neither rhar of tbe
revisionist Soviet leaders, nor
that of all the modern revision-
ists and die other opportunists,
in the same way as it Isucb
betrayal] cannot bedraggle and
denigrare the immortal work of
Lenin and Stalin.”

The main speech, delivered
by Mr Hysni Kapo, a secretary
of the party's Central Com-
mittee, was turned into one of
the most vitriolic attacks on tbe
present Soviet . leadership

Mr Kapo said “the need to
intensify the struggle for. the
denunciation of tbe ideological
platform of Soviet revisionism
and Df tbe political activity of
the present day Soviet Union
continues to remain the. order
of tbe day and constitutes aD
imperative obligation for all
Marxisr-Leniuisrs, for aH revolu-
tionaries. as well as. for all
those who defend true liberty
and true national radepen
dence ”.

Mr Kapo claimed that Nikita
Khrushcbev and his “ clique "■
had betrayed Marxism-Leninism
and the revolution.

Unlike previous years, the
Albanian leaders _ abstained
from heaping praise on the
Chinese communists. Tbe ab-
sence of any direct reference to
the Peking leadership con-
firmed the troubled relations
between the two countries on
both state and party level.

But there was an oblique
reference to tile “other oppor-
tunists ” in Mr Sbehu’s address,
something that may have been
aimed at the present more prag-
matic Chinese leadership. — AP.

Students’ union
leader appeals
to Mr Brezhnev

Miss Sue Sl.pman, president
of tiie National Union of Stu-
denrs, has written to President
Brezhnev demanding action in
the case of a detained British
student.

Andrei Klycicliuk, a 21-year-
old student teacher at Hull Col-
lege of Higher Education, is be-
ing held at Lvov in the Ukraine
on suspicion oi anti-Soviet acti-
vities. He was arrested on
August 1 during a holiday trip.

Miss Slipman. who is herself
a Communr.t, told President
Brezhnev that Mr Klymchuk
had been held beyond the two-
month period of arrest after
which, under ilia Soviet consti-
tution, charges must be laid. So
far. no charges have been made
public.

Dissident to
visit Britain

Warsaw. Nov 8- — Mr Jan
Josef Lipski, a prom inant Polish
dissident, has received per-
mlsson to go io Britain for
urgent heart surgery after
authorities earlier refused him
a passport, in what they des-
cribed as “ a mistake ”, friends
of his family said today.

A 51-year-old literary critic
and leading member of tbe
dissident Public Self-Defence
Committee, Mr Lipski was told
by Poland’s top heart specialist
to have an operation abroad as
it would be too risky to have it
done here. — Reuter.

Carver mission meets
fresh rebuff in talks
to President Kaunda

Lusaka, Nov 8.— British and
United Nations eavoys touring
Africa in search of support for
a Rhodesia peace settlement
were handed a new rebuff by
Zambia today.

President Kaunda opposed
their plans to hold elections in
Rhodesia during a transitional
period before the country
reached independence under
bSack majority rule, informed
sources said. Zambian officials
said foe mission was told that
black Rhodesian : guerrilla
leaders should play an impor-
tant rde in the change from
white to black government.

The Zambia setback followed
cool repoo ses chat the mission
received in visits to Tanzania,
Botswana and Rhodesia.

The mission, led by Field
Marshal Lord Carver, who has
been proposed as interim Com-
missioner for Rhodesia during
the handover of power, includes
General 'Prem Chand, represent-
ing the United Nations.

Lord Carver, who later flew
on to Nigeria and returns to
London to m orrow, told repor-
ters: “We have not got any-
where yet in sight o f seeing
when Ae tnusmonal period
coubd start,” There was no size
of a ceasefire in the guerrilla
war between tire black guerrillas
and Rhodesian security forces.
The negotiating team sp ent two
days in Zambia Md had a sur-
prise second round of talks with
President Kaunda. Sources
close to die talks seed Zambia
regarded .the proposed pre-
independence elections to de-
cide who holds power in
Rhodesia hi { 0 ( 10*6 as unwise.

Zambia noEfiriaJs said . the
country also expressed support
for the Patriotic Front, whose
leaders have told Lord Craver
they oppose the scope of his
proposed powers.

A source dose to the visiting
mission said the positions taken
by die envoys and Zambia were
irreconcilable.

British officials said the pro-
posal for ejections before inde-

pendence, in which internal
black opponents of the white
Rhodesian Government would
be guaranteed a full part, was
not negotiable.

Tn Nigeria, Lord Carver is ex-
pected to seek the support of
black Africa’s richest country
for the peace plan. General
Olesegun Qbasasijo, the head of

state, favours it, according to
British sources;

Nigeria’s backing is con-
sidered important because of
the tnfluece its oil wealth pro-
vides within the Organization

of African Unity.— Reuter.
David Spanier, Oar Diplomatic
Corespondent, ■ writes : Lord
Carver has found, like others
before him, that there is noth-
ing like a meeting with Mr Ian

Smith, die Rhodesian Prime
Minister, foe restoring sense of
reality. The reality is that there
is a tong way to go before a
ceasefire becomes practical
politics.

In particular. Lord Carver
has learnt that he is not going
to be able to organize a cease-
fire, as he hoped, until there
is agreement on the handover
of power and a new constitu-
tion for Rhodesia. These dis-
cussions are p roceeding in
parallel but, again, there is
even farther to go.

The Foreign Of ice has denied
reports from Salisbury that a
new White Paper might have
to be drawn up,, setting out
fresh proposals for a settle-
ment. Dr Owen, the Foreign
Secretary, said a&un this week
that there are dangers in “ un-
scrambling ” the proposals.
Some 'parties could agree 00
parts of it, bat (be White Paper
stood as a whole.

Dr Owen remains convinced
of the importance oi the United’
Nations' rde. - Lieutenant-
General Prem Chand, its repre-
sentative, who bos been work-
ing with Lord Carver, will he

mission to the United Nations,

On Saturday, though *e result

Party, which used to be the
Country Party, will - -have an
easy win again and -trill govern '

The state has been the object ,
of a gigantic gerrymander. In
the last election --in .Decent- .

to 11 of die 82' seats."- It was
the' worst defeat any party has
received, state .or federal. in"’
this country, but die outcome,
belied the actual • strength- d£

support.

Such is the gerrymander
weighted towards the country

to elect a Labour member,
10,829 to refunt a Liberal aiid ‘
only 7,464 to return a National
Party candidate. Translated into
seats, . Labour won. more votes
(36.28 per cent) than .either, of
■the coalition parties, but gained.-
'toe fewest seats. -

Leisurely campaign in S Africa

Rhodesian security forces
are sceptical oyer
prospects of a ceasefire

From Nicholas Ashford
Salisbury, Nov 8

It is likely that Field Mar-
shal Lord Carver, the Resident-
Commissioner-designate in
Rhodesia, found considerable
scepticism among Rhodesia's
military oommandes when ho
held talks with them last week
on the possibility of arranging
a ceasefire betwen the Rhode-
sian security forces and the
black nationalist insurgents.

This is not because, being,
military men, they have a '
built-in abhorrence against
being asked to Jay danw their
arms. But the Rhodesian forces
have already been involld in
one abortive attempt at a cea-
sefire which is an experience
they would uoc wish to be
repeated.

This occurred at the end of

1974, when South Africa, in-
tent on establitoing detente
with black states to foe. north,
tried to get both sides in the
war to stop fighting. The
South African police , who
were then assisting die Rhode-
sian security forces, were
recalled to base camps and the
Rhodesian troops were ordered
to stop offensive patrolling.

The ceasefire lasted just
over a month. By January,

1975, according to Rhodesian
military sources,, there bad
been so many infringements by
the black nationalists that the
Rhodesian Army found it
necessary to return to the
offensive.

It took the Rhodesian secur-
ity forces a year to recover
from this brief interlude. “We
lost a lot of teritory psycholo-
gically”, a senior military
spokesman said. “ While we
were standing still the ter-
rorists were going around the
country politicizing every kraal
they came to.” '

It was only at the end of
1975, after the introduction of
the protected villages scheme
in tnbal areas, that the Rhode-
sian forces were able to state
there were only 30 armed in-
surgents left in the Operation
Hurricane area in the north-
east of the country.

The situation has changed
radically since then. The whole
of the country’s 2,000-miIe
border is now potential W hos-
tile except, for the 150-mile
strip adjoining South Africa in
the south. Contacts between
the guerrillas and security
forces have become a daily
occurrence.

During the first eigit
months of this year the secur-
ity forces have killed more
than 1,200 guerrillas, more
than one third of the total
number of guerrilla deaths
since Operation Hurricane
began five years ago. -The
number of security farce per-
sonnel killed during the same
period was more' man 180,, a
big -increase over previous
years, which reflects the grow-
ing intensity of the war-

It is now unofficially esti-
mated that there are about
3,000 guerrillas operating in-
tide the country at any one
time. Their biggest concentra-
tions are in the Hurricane,
Thrasher and Repulse opera-
tional areas which run along
the whole of the eastern
border with Mozambique. .

These guerrillas belong to
Zanla, .which is the armed,
wing of Mr Robert Mugabe's
Zimbabwe African National
Union <Zanu).

However, in recent hkonths
there has been a marked in-
crease in guerrHJa attacks in
the western part of the
country from across the Zam-
bian and Botswana borders by
forces belonging to the Zipra
forces commanded by • Mr
Joshua Nkosno. Although the
Zipra forces are numerically
inferior to Zanla, they are said
to be better trained and armed
with modern Russian weapons.

The official military spokes-
man makes no attempt to dis-
guise die fact that, in his
words, “the war has intensi-
fied ” but the security forces
are confident that by this time
next year “ we will still be
fighting the war and still be
calling the tune ”, he says.

The Rhodesians point to
several factors in their favour.
First, and most important, is
the ' quality of their own
troops, who in five years of
fighting have become what is
probtibly the finest conn ter -in-
surgency force .in the world

The Rhodesian army's con-
troversial raids across the
border into neigbbfHjrin g coun-
tries— -now termed “ self -defen-
sive pre-emptive strikes ” —
have also forced the guerrillas
to move their bases farther
away from the operational
areas thus stretching their sup.
ply and communication tinea.
At the same time, persisted*
harassment h?£ prevented thv
guerrillas from setting up per.
maoent bases inside Rhodesia.

Nigerian plan to use troops in school

■ Lagos, Nov 8. — A plan by toe
Nigerian Government to deploy
soldiers in schools to enforce
disdfrEne has evoked wide-
spread criticism. The Nigerian
Union of Teachers dedared:
“The action will create a stale
of fear capable of jeopardizing
toe normal process of te a ch i ng
and learning ”.

Altho u g h this view is shared

from toe flood of letters to the
newspapers, a meeting of prin-
cipals of schools appeared to
support the proposal.

Tbe idea of using soldiers in'
schools wen -put forward by a

emphasizing the need for dis-
cipline at efl Jewels of Nigerian

Speaking at toe formal open- -
ing of toe command and staff

said,

Tbe use of troops to enforce
school discipline was then pro-
posed - by Lieutenant-Colonel
Ayodele Balogun, malitary
governor of Ogim state. Later
an official statement issued by
General Obasanjo's - press
officer gave am assurance that
the plan would not be imple-
mented without proper conaut
tatiocs. '

The statement said toe pro-
gramme would be- drawn up
after due consultatioa with
such bodies . as the teachers’
union and the ' prinripals’ asso-
ciatioo. It explained that the
soldiers, who would ■ be non-
commissioned officers, were to

be part of the 'teaching staff,

pads as any other tutor m toe

The soldiers, the -statement
added, were to assist iti physical

Mr CaHaChan (Cardiff, South-East,

ra* meeting -of the

Couodl in early December wffl be
considering the matter and that

poont or flew wfll be expressed. It
Is certainly Government policy,

of indosnu antegf and regenera-
tion. - - ^

I should not rule out entirely

appropriate, but the first priority,
I agree, goes to the regeneration of
British industry.

Mr Robert McCriudle (Brentwood
and Ougar, C) — As he compares
the industrial sStuajtfou Gas wfncsr
writ that of 1973*74, will Mr
Callaghan find any reassurance
from the fact that hels ax- least not
confronted -by an Opposition pre-
pared to support every last Infla-
tionary wage claim ?

Services
have to
conform to
"*ay policy

Though it would not solve the

■ roblem of pay under the present
I'nvemment guidelines, there
'vuuld be no objection In principle
to the armed Services seeking
trade union representation. Mr
Frederick Mulley, Secretary of
State for Defence, indicated at
question time.. He appreciated that
service pay had lagged behind, but
that was true of many civilians.

It was not true that any member
of the armed forces was in receipt
of social security benefits, though
same officers and men were in
receipt of rent and rate rebates, be
said-.

. Mr John Cronin {Loughborough,
Lab) bad asked what preliminary
- arrangements ibe Secretary of
State bad nude to increase the
pay of the armed forces when the
time was appropriate to do so.

Mr Mulley — The Armed Forces
Pay Review Body is responsible
for recommending increases in
forces' pav. It has already begun
the work of collecting the neces-
sary information oo which to base
a recommendation to take effect
trom April 1 next year.

IVbUe file armed forces must,
like everyone else, conform to the
Government's pay policy for the
time being, trill he ensure that
wiled they do have their next pay
. . increase it will be the substantial

one that they justly deserve?

Mr Mnlley— Those considerations
are worthwhile stressing became
they are important factors In the
situation, but the forces, like other
lectors, have to conform to
Gorenraient pay policy end to
particular to the procedure that
the Armed Services Pay Review
Body makes recommendations.
Thev are due to be implemented on
April 1 after 12 months.

Mr Philip Goodhart (Bromley,

3 ec ken ham, C)~ Many servicemen
are paid less than the firemen they
win probably be replacing in tiw
cities next week. Is he aware of the
widespread feeling that Servicemen
hare fallen badly behind In the
two rears and will the Armed
Forces Pay Review Body be bound
by the Government's 10 per cent
guidelines in April ?
sir Mulley— It wCl be for die
' Armed Forces Pay Review Body to
make recommendations. For our
part in the Ministry of Defence wo
are supplying them with ail the
Information we can so they can
form a judgment. 1 know there w
difficulty on die question of com-
wrability which Is felt strongly in
the Services.

Mr Anthony Barth (Richmond
□non Thames. Richmond, C) —
There Is a danger of serious
demoralization in the Services. His
awn people inquiring into service
pay have discovered some officers
are drawing social security and
rent allowances.

Mr Mulley— l appreciate and ‘un-
derstand that there is a strong
feeling in the armed forces that
their pav has lagged behind but. as
we all know from our constituency
txperieoce, many other sectors feel
that their pay bas left them with
serious financial problems-
It b untrue that any member of
Sic armed forces is drawing soda!
security benefits because a condl-
,,iidon of that is that one is nnem-
| ill 'Ployed. There are a number draw-
■ s tag rent and rate rebates

Tire numbers are about 10
officers and 6,000 men.

Mr Edward Lovden (Liverpool.

Carston. Lah)— In view of the
statements on both sides of tne
Heme about the question or
members of the armed forces not
eligible to join trade unions
*nd das disability this bas on them,
'ill he agree to open trade union
■nonbmbfp negotiations with the

e-jis kq t|gve on dealing with the

Mr Callaghan— There bas been a
general vriD' mobilized, in favour of
Government policy and I am not
surprised that the Opposition fol-
low that expression of public
optofon. • ■

Mr Jack Ashley {Stoke-on-Trent, .
Sooth, Lab)— The settlement with
the police and progress with the
power -workers reflects great credit
on- the Government’s' attitude.
Conservative attempts to exploit
tile present spate of industrial tm- .
rest reflects great discredit on
them.

Mr Callaghan —we are fighting
battle which is crucial and-l do not
reject or spurn any help In that
battle. Therefore; I make no
attacks on anybody In that matter.
It fe"vitBl and the country is so far
standing together on this issue. . -

Everybody bas his particular In-
terest but we are an interdepen-
dent society. Pretty weft everybody
is a key worker aod ft is our task
to mobilize the general WED 'against
the particular interest. -
Mr Robin Corbett (Hemel Hemp-
stead, Lab) tori ted Mr CaBaghan
to see. a constituent wbo was para-
lysed tan die neck down and
rdled on eZactcftOty for Hfe, but
wtm believed it was important to
stand, firm against unofficial action
by the power workers.

Reco^iiring that they have a
grievance (be said) it is better that
they and everybody else should
use -official procedures, even if
those procedures need improve-
ment.

Mr Callaghan — I am aware that
many who suffer, as weU as the

general public, are. in favour of
broad' acceptance of tiw guidelines
for moderate increases In pay and
earttinga fids year. The Govern-
ment' win adhere to their policy as
long as (bey can maintain pnbHc
support. Without Is they cannot
succeed. With It, I hope, we shaft.

I hope that foe power wor k ers
and the union and generating
board will get together to iron out
the difficulties on a tripartite
basis, provided, that they are
within tire- general guidelines

State aid for inner cities
extended: programme
will rise to £125m by 1979

the Government are to make mare
money available for. construction
works iu more inner city areas, Mr
Peter Shore, Secretary of State for
the environment, announced kt a
statement.

In my previous statement of
April 6 (be sadd) I announced the
Government’s dectawo to increase
the urban programme, to assist the
inner rides In grant aided expen-
diture from the existing level of
£30m to £125m in 1979. Five part*
oershlp areas were then
announced — in Liverpool, Birming-
ham. Manchester/Saif ord and In
Loudon, Lambeth 1 and Docklands
aaod I have subsequently made pro-
visional allocations of £5(kn a year
for a three- year period from the
starting date.

I toed the House on April 6 that
we would be giving further con-
si deration to tire case put by other
authorities for assistance with
their urban problems.

I have studied carefuHy aH the
evidence winch bas been put for-
ward by some 25 authorities, and
ray colleagues and I have bad
meetings with most of the authori-
ties concerned. We have reached
these conclusions:

Outside London, the area ol
Newcastle upon Tyne and Gates- .
head stands out .as having in suffi-
cient degree the concentration, in-
tensity and scale of problems to
which partnership arrangements
ore directed. Accordingly I pro-
pose to offer a partnership to the
authorities In this urea.

inside London tire adjacent
boroughs of Hackney and Isangtoa
stand out in a similar way sod I
propose to offer a partnership to
the authorities here as weH.

I Intend to make £5m available
immediately to each of die two
new partners hi p areas out of the
■ £100m announced in the Chancel-
lor’s March Budget statement. This
Is for inner dty construction wort*
to be undertaken in this and sa*
next financial year. Z shall also be
discussing with the new partner-
ship authorities, the basis on which
they should plan for 1979 onwards.

In addition I Intend to make at
least Elm available to each of the
seven partnership areas for 1978-79
for new projects of the traditional
urban programme type and for
other schemes, such as minor
environmental works, that can be
set In hand while inner area pro-
grammes are being prepared.

Outside the partnership areas we
have identified a number of other
authorities with inner urban prob-
lems which, while they do not
Justify partnership treatment,
nevertheless merit special atten-
tion.

These are: North Tyneside.
South Tyneside, Sunderland and
Middlesbrough In the Northern
Region; Bolton, Oldham and Wir-
ral in the North-west Redon; Brad-
ford, Hull, Leeds and Sheffield, in
the Yorkshire and Humberside
Redon; Wolverhampton in the
West Midlands Region; Leicester
and Nottingham in the East Mid-
lands Region; and Hammersmith in
London.

I intend that these 15 authorities
should receive the potvers to make
loans and to declare industrial im-
provement areas.

In addition. I have concluded
that uo to £25 m should be provided
from " 3979-30 onwards from the
urban programme to assist these
areas. This would represent in
total a six-fold increase in their
urban aid and be a continuing
commitment over several years.

Many of these authorities, and
the Government too, feel that their
inner area problems can best be
tackled through a comprehensive
programme of action, and I shall
therefore be inriting them to pre-
pare their own inner area pro-
grammes iu time for implemen-
tation from April, 1979, Unlike the

partnership arrangements, ^minis-
ters and government departments
will not be involved directly in
their preparation.

T am 'veil aware that many other
authorities hare urban prohlems in
varying degrees. Individual pro-
jects will continue to be eligible
for assistance under the urban pro-
gramme. I can now announce that
in 197S-79 T shall be inviting addi-
tional bids from authorities outs/ue
the partnership areas for new
urban programme projects to a
total value of £I0m. A circular
inriting applications vnB be issued

shortly. . ,

don.

Finally, the additional, local
powers promised in the White
Paper -to which I referred r earlier
w 41 be presented to tills House in
the form of an Inner Urban Areas
Bill,, before the Christmas Recess.'
Mr Michael Beseltine, chief Oppo-
sition spokesman on the environ-
ment (Henley, C) — The sums of I
money Mr Shewn is offering are so !
small and so spread over the years
in relation, to the scale of the
problem that be is giving a false
impression in suggesting that these
are any real solutions to the prob-
lem. .

Tlie policies he is pursuing of a
highly selective centralized subsidy
ore diverting attention away from
the need for policies that offer
incentives and reward for invest
ment in dty centres and for tack-
ling the problems of public sector
land hoarding and bringing a new
sense of- urgency to our planning
procedures.

There is a grave, dager in
adding to the patronage of Govern-
ment in tire process whereby iadi-
vtdnal towns and districts are :
being selected by toe Secretary of j
State for preferential treatment
without any known or objective j
criteria. -

How is he able to Judge that the !
15 cases he has announced have :
problems on a different scale to
Zaose authorities still in the
queue ? Can he publish the factual |
basis for his cboke so that all MFs
whose authorities have not been
selected shall know toe methods by
which they can make successful
applications ?

Mr Shore— The tone of Mr 1
Hesel tine’s comments does not en-
tirely reflect what I thought was a
helpful debate on July 17 when
the Opposition spokesman (Mr
Reginald Eyre) gave a broad wel-
come to what we -wore doing and
urged us to make oar efforts .
stronger and more extensive. -

The sum of £125m is what we can.
ax present see our way to afford. It
is not a ceiling on what is needed
by the areas concerned. He should 1
remember that this is a big dif-
ference from the £3Gm a year— in
real terms — we inherited from the
urban programme of the Conserva-
tive Government. -

Mr Heseltine should consider ,
wbat be has said against the back-
ground of general complaints
about the level of Government
spending.

I assure him that a substantial
past of this increased urban grant ;
will be spent by the local authori-
ties on support for industry and on
broad environmental purposes. We
have been consulting them on this
matter iu preparation for the Bill
which I hope soon to preseat.

As for the question of making
judgments between many different
authorities with broadly similar
claims, no one has yet contested
that the partnership derisions are
sot iu a sense almost self-selecting. .
Three arose out of studies set in !
hand by Mr Peter Walker when 1
Secretary of State for the Envlron-V
ment.

I do not think anyone will quar-
rel with them or other partnership |
arrangements.

We wffl ghre as much informa-
tion as we can. We are only too
willing to take toe House into Oar
confidence.

Mr Stephen Ross (Isle of Wight, \
L)— We understand the urgency of -
dealing with the urban programme
and welcome his measures. What
monitoring mil be undertaken to
see that this money is properly i
spent, and fairly spent ? There bas
been a feeling that London has had i
mo great a share. Can he hold out |
some hope for rural areas ?

Mr Shore — The rural areas have
their problems and I would- not
seek to minimize them, but the
character of those problems is dif-
ferent from the kind of problems
we are talking about in Inner
cities. Monitoring, particularly in
the case of the problem areas, of
the carrying ont of toe pro-
gramme, is an important pan of
toe whole exercise. We axe discuss-
ing effective arrangements to that
end.

Sir Keith Joseph, chief Opposition
spokesman- on industry (Leeds.

North-East; C), resuming the
debate' on the motion for art
address in reply to the Queen’s
Speech, moved mi Opposition
amendment regretting uiac toe
policies being followed' by the
Government, as well as those out-
lined in the Speech, would not
enable industry and commerce to
achieve toe level of performance
necessary to -maintain, let-alone to
improve, toe standard off Rfe and
sodal services.

He said rising productivity ~ *
competi tiv eness -was the so*r~ -I
an I mp ro v ed standard of ‘ „ for
any society. Competitiveness aod
| innovation were toe key no jobs,
^ too.

Rising productivity and innova-
, tion flourished in a framework ol
competition and of laws, taxes and
social services designed to
encourage people to do, in thrir
own toaereste and those of tbrir
own families, tint which was in the
public interest. -

; Tories believed this framework
and encouragement could best be
achieved by allowing people to
spend more, of their own. earnings
aod allowing dffferentlals Go
operate, .to encourage enterprise,
effort and responsibility and Skiff.
But toe socialists d*d not seem to

Che conditions necessary to keep
toe cow of profitable sucoessfhl
.free eottrorbe, it tbat.be the ani-
mal which . can be milked,- in
flourishing condition.

During the past three years the
productivity Increases from which
the kaslml of li ving, jobs and
soc&L services flowed bad been
four -to five times hi ghe r in the
most comparable I n d u s tria l com.
tries than . under socialism in
Britain.

In part the responsfbfloy must
fall on management, but the wet
Wanker of high taxation bod stifled
initiative, effort, risk taking and
enterprise at every level of Tespon-
sTbOlty in Industry.

On cop of aM the d&scoaragement
from Government action, there was
toe attitude of the trade unions
and shop stewards. On the part of
many of them there was' a hostility
to and a misunderstanding of the
processes of prosperity embodied
In the free enterprise system and a
lack of understanding of the com-
mon interest winch meant high
productivity in the Interests of this
country’s workers, savers, man-
agers, consumers and users of toe
social services.

He was looking to the Secretary
of State for any plan tx> increase
productivity on a national 'scale
overall, but in toe nationalized in-
dustries for which the Government
-were - responsible Mr Varfey and
Ms colleagues should be trying to
set an e xamp le of rising producti-
vity by cutting the marginal rate of
taxation <xnd constantly explaining
in their speeches iu place of out-
moded eftass war rhetoric the fact
that higher productivity and co-
operation between wage earners
and good management was toe way
to an Improved standard of firing,
more Jobe and bettor social ser-
vices.

The twin policies of overman
and overtax were suicidal for the
standard of living and social ser-
vices of this country. They would
lower the standard of living, lead
to fewer jobs, lower pensions and
less for the disabled and for
society’s casualties, and more than
offset the. benefits of North Sea c£l.

At toe moment toe Government
were aborting toe new jobs that
could exist by toe obstacles they
had erected In the path of enter-
prise aod particularly by the high
rates of marginal taxation. The
House witnessed last week a wel-
come move by toe sociaEsr Govern-
ment to try to encourage small
businesses.

One thing that remained to be
doue, above all, was to cut the top
rates of taxation. Paradoxically,
toe way to help toe poor was to
release the talents of the job crea-
tors -and risk takers.

Would toe Government
encourage the use of wastage In
their own sector to raise producti-
vity? Would they encourage new
Jobs by cutting the top rates of tax
to motivate the risk takers ? Pro-
fits were catastrophically low in
real terms.

The Secretary of State for In-
dustry had presided over a great
increase hi public spending In the
nationalized industries. He bad
continued to back losers rather
than allowing society to back the
winners.

The Opposition believed that res-
cue and subsidies did great barm
because the expectation, the hope,
of rescue tended to prevent com-
panies putting their own bouse in
order and tended to create the
pursuit of subsidy tn firms rather
than toe pursuit of profits. They
blunted competitiveness in that
way. The Government were doing
great harm by buying business
abroad, as in Poland and India.

All these operations had a price.
The Opposition wanted to know
whether the minister and the
Government were aware of bow
many jobs were actually lost by toe
taxes raised in order to provide
subsidies, rescues and all the other
operations for which the Govern-
ment tried to take credit. Jobs
were lost elsewhere by toe effect
of the taxes levied in order to
increase Government spending.

Only a. decisive change to -a pro*
enterprise, high productivity inno-
vative economy could reverse the
present downward trend. If toe
socialists ignored the realities then
higher unemployment and lower
tiring standards woaid resale. The
. British people would feel a bitter-
ness that would come from disap-
pointed expectations, .which toe
socialists would have done much to
, create.

Mr Eric Variey, Secretary of State
for Industry (Chesterfield, lAb)
said be wooM have rnought that
Sir Keith Joseph, with his new-
found phOosopby, woaid at last
hare been able to say exactly what
an incoming Conservative Govern-
meat— which God forbid— would
do.

From what he bed said, it
seemed that Sir Kerto did not
believe in tote Industrial strategy.
He did not know whether that want
for some of ids colleagues, but he
suspected probably not
Conservative front Bench MPs — It
does.

Mr Variey — Tbere is instant agree-
ment. There has been a quick con-
sultation and they agree that they
are opposed to the industrial stra-
tegy.

Sir Keith Joseph— Mr Variey win
find in The Right Approach to the
Economy * chapter on the indus-
trial strategy in vribkfa we tear It to
bhs and Mr Prior and Mr David
Howell agree in that
Mr Variey— I have read it and
while they criticize it, they do not
tear k to bits, nor repudiate it, nor
does the document say that an
incoming Conservative Govern-
ment would not sttH cooperate If
they got the chance, as I under-
stand it. Nor has Mrs Thatcher
said that.

If they were to improve Inter-
national competitiveness aod pro-
ductivity tout would be done, not
in NEDC and the working parties,
but on the shop floor. That did not
mean that they should not form
working parties or disparage what
they were doing. The Conservative
Front Bench new was not toat of
toe CBI.

We know toat without state
Intervention and assistance (he
said) many of toe pillars of private
enterprise would never have weath-
ered a recession which has been
toe worst we have had since tne
Thirties.

Measures which the Government
had already Implemented would
foster the right environment in
which »nian firms cookd further
flourish. This, in turn, would play
a viol part in toe recovery of toe
economy.

What wes the Opposition’s atti-
tude to British Ley land ? They had
voted against the rescue two years
ago. Major differences existed on
the Opposition Front Bench. Mr
James Prior, their chief employ-
ment spokesman, had said in an
article lu toe Birmingham Post:
“ It is rubbish to suggest we would
immediately cut the fifeboes of
state-assisted firms such as Ley-
land. They need help to get back
on their feet.” Hut was when be
was up in Birmingham looking for
"votes in the Ladywood by- election.

The Government were oomurit-
ted to helping Ley land achieve suc-

cess. The recent ballot result was
os eoconragong development
though they were stiff far from
achieving toe necessary objectives.
He washed the new chairman and
chief executive Of British Ley! aod,
Mr Michael Edward es, great suc-
cess In the task be had to do.

In Us speech Sir Keith Joseph
bad still not said wbat toe Conser-
vatives could do about the National
Enterprise Board.

A year ago they thought they
knew because The Right Approach
was clear and said: “ The NEB
must be abolished." Mr Prior in
his article had seen a looser term
role for toe NEB.

Today he could announce an
expended role for the NEB. In
thmr guidelines for the NEB, the
Government gave it a substantial
job to do hi the North and North-
west. Offices had been set up in
those regions and a useful start
had been made.

They now had to decide the right
course which, in his judgment mid
that of the Government, was to
build on the strengths of tire NEB,
reinfo r ci ng the extensive work
already undertaken by the regional
directors in Newcastle and Liver-
pool.

The NEB bad made a careful
study of the problems of these
regions and had come forward with
a range of measures which die
Government believed would make
an important contribution towards
industrial development.

The NEB would establish
regional boards for the North-east
and North-west. These boards,
under the leadership la due course
of the NEB’s new deputy chair-
man, would draw their members
from trade unions, financial insti-
tutions, industrialists and particu-
larly those with strong local roots.

Their task would be to decide on
tile NEB's ta vestment In toe
regions and they would operate
fairiy and competitively, as toe
NEB guidelines required, provid-
ing flexible investment packaces
tailored to meet local needs.

If the regional boards of toe
NEB were to be a success thev
needed to cooperate closely nor
only with toe Rural Development
Commistioa but with other agen-
cies toat existed within the
regions.

Thescost of setting up the
regional boards would be infinite-
simal in terms of toe total spend-
ing the NEB would have. Be
wanted to see effective organiza-
tions in the redans.

Mr Thomas Urwin (Eoughton-le-
Spring, Lab) — Is be satisfied that
the expansion of the NEB in the
northern region will adequately
meet the requirements of the
region better man a regional de-
velopment agency ? WH 1 he mode a
further statement about this move
because we seed to kdow how

much additional investment there
will be in toe hands of toe NEB ?
Mr Variey said toat ooc of the
reasons for announcing ton
extended 'rate of toe regional
powers of the NEB was to deal
with some of the problems such as
sbtpbuildiog. He would try to
make more, information available.
The NEB were taking steps to pub-
licize their activities iu the regions.
Ho wbuld undertake to meet MPs
who would like to gn into it fur-
ther, to examine the prospects and
possibilities for those region*.

The Shipbuildong indiwtry had
weathered the international crisis
remarkably well. Much of toat suc-
cess was due to the intervention
fund announced at toe beginning
of toe year. With the support of
that fund. Britain’s shipbuilding
industry took almost as many
orders la the first nine months of
this year as iu toe whole of last
year, and four times as many as in
1975.

Those orders were expected to
provide about 13,000 man years of
working in the shipyards, and a
similar amount in other supporting
industries. The forthcoming Polish
deal would give a major boost to
toe industry and that would never
had been possible without nationa-
lization.

The problems of the steel in-
dustry had been caused primarily
by world recession, lack of demand
and depressed opportunities. There
were no signs at toe moment of an
immediate upturn. The Govern-
ment were proceeding in close con-
sultation with the British Steel
Corporation and toe steel trade
unions and do deritious bad yet
been taken. The Government must
consult fully those who worked in
the Industry.

Sir Keith Joseph asked if Mr Var-
iey was not going to tell the House
about the cash limits In the steel
Industry.

Mr Variey said toe cash limits for
this year remained exactly the
same. There bad been no change.
The financial requirements of tlie
British steel industry would have
to be looked at next year in the
light of the review being under-
taken and all the other factors
thar bad to be taken into account.

There were no changes In the
cash limits and toe Gorerumcnr
had no plans to change them but
the financial requirements of next
year would have to be looked at in
toe Light of his statement. *

He thought toe Opposition had a
nerve if they were trying to imply
in their amendment that so far the
Government's industrial policies
had not been able to sustain toe
social provision.

Here again the Tories do not
know what they are talking about
and their approach on social policy
is as muddled as their approach to
Industrial policy.

High U S tariffs should be cut

Mr Geraint Howells (Cardigan, L)
said toe only way to improve toe
country’s economy was to have a
stable government and Ms collea-
gues had done a great job tor the
country in the last six months.
More than SO per cent of toe elec-
torate were in favour of their
agreement with the Government.
Over a period of time with stable
government the economy would
Improve and they would be able to
solve toe onempfoymeot problem.
Therefore there was no point In
pressing for an early eietion.

Mr Sydney Irving (Dartford, Lid))
said toe eoooomy was by far toe
most important matter and the
overriding priority. When toe ejec-
tion came nothing else would mat-
ter. Central to success was the pay
policy and no one group should be
allowed to wreck it.

Mr Reginald Prentice (Newham,
Norto-Easto C) said one main rea-
son he ded»e d to cross toe floor of
toe House was Ms growing convic-
tion that the relative faflure of
British industry as compared with
that in other Western countries
was due in large part to toe
present Government's failures; that
toe serious situation would become
much worse in toe unfortunate
event of toe Labour Party winning
the next general election and car-
rying out further policies detri-
mental to industry which were in
their furore programmes.

Only by producing more wealth
would they provide better condi-
tions of human dignity for those
deprived.

No group should be allowed to
get away wfto excessive use at
industrial muscle to break the pay
policy. If in the coming winter
there were confrontations and if
the Government faced up to .them
as a Government representing toe
whole community they would
deserve the support of all MPs.

He recalled 1972-74 with great
regret aod a sense of personal
responsibility. He was then on the
Opposition From Bench.

The Labour Party in retrospect
(be continued) should be ashamed
of its attitude to the way to which
the Tory Government tried to deal
itito those problems . Wbat has
been happening and what may
happen destroys toe myth that a
Labour government's relationship
with the trade unions Is somehow a
guarantee of industrial peace and
tost a Tory government leads to
confroumtioa. (Conservative

cheers.)

Confrontations could occur be-
tween powerful unions aod govern-
ments of any party. If there ever
was any truth to toe myth be bad
mentioned it was destroyed by the
Government’s failure to get a
phase three agreement udto the
TUC. And if there were a«y tat-
tered remnants Of the myth lying
around they were destroyed by Mr
Arthur ScargHTs victory in the
mineworkers’ voce on the producti-
vity scheme.

The House should vote la accor-
dance with the amendment and
agonist the increasing trend
towards docrrioaSre socialism on
the Labour ben c hes.

Mr Arthur Palmer (Bristol, North-
East, Lab) amd those MPs who in
toe past had helped and
encouraged Mr Prentice to Us
career and whose devotion to their
country was as great as his must
find It painful to see him to his
present position.

Mr Michael Marshall (Arundel. C)
said tote a a appalling financial sit-
uation faced the British Steel
Corporation. To hare a major cor-
poration losing at toe race of £23 a
ton was a disastrous course.

Mr Stanley Crowtoer (Rotherham,
Lab) said toat he was worried that
toe Government were not imple-
menting any policies to stimulate
demand for steel on the home
market. There was also a wide-
spread suspicion in Rotherham
that the British Steed Corporation
was deliberately shunting the less
profitable contracts to tide more
efficient works hke Rotherham and
giving the more profitable work to
less economic plants to spread toe
load and to disguise to some extent
the difference in performance.

Mrs Winifred Ewing (Moray and
Naim, Scot Natl said the best
thing for electoral success for her
party would be Eallnre to pass the
devolution Bill for Scotland. They
would be laughing all the way to
the next election. But ber party
had taken a constructive attitude
to the BUI because a step to toe
right direction was a step In toe
right direction. They would work
with ebs Government and would
accept the verdict of the people of
Scotland.

Mr Kenneth Baker (City of West-
minster. St Maiylehone, C) said
the Government should invest their
ministerial authority and political
capital to trying to persuade both
sides of industry that productivity
was the essence of the regeneration
of British industry and show that
they wanted that to come about.
Productivity should not be
regarded as an ingenious way to
get round an incomes policy.

Mr John Nott, Opposition spokes-
man on trade (St Ives, Cl, said that
there was a range of options open
to the Government on exchange
race policy, but virtually the only
one not open was the one they
took.

There was no way to which the
parity of sterling could be held at a
level which denied toe existence of
North Sea off, simply because the
capital inflows would wreak havoc
with toe money supply and with
domestic inflation. Britain's over-
seas allies were not going to allow
Britain to -build up massive
reserves.

When the Government unshed to
be pootdar rather than politically
committed they dragged the Chan-
cellor of toe Duchy of Lancaster
(Mr Harold Lever) out of bis cup-
board in Eaton Square, dusted him
down and stood him on parade
where in mechanical fashion be

announced as Government policy
the amendments tabled by the
Conservatives to capital transfer
tax in 1974. (Conservative
laughter.)

Mr Edmund Dcfi, Secretary of
State for Trade (Birkenhead, Lab)
said that to 1977 the Government
hoped toms would be an increase
to toe rate of industrial profits. It
would be an increase assisted by
the fan that they expected to 1978
to experience far once a faster rate
of economic growth than most of
Britain’s European competitors
would probably be enjoying to that
year.

The standard of bring bad fallen
to 1976 and 1977 but from now on
it would begin to rise. The major
increase most come from
industry — industrial production
and productivity. They could also
expect an increase by an expansion
ot overseas earnings from the
export: of goods and services.

Because of the coordinating poli-
cies of toe Community Britain bad
been able to take a strong Hne in
the multi fibre arrangement.
Britain had helped the Community
to agree a mandate wtich provided
a tough position against disruptive
low cost textile imports.

That rough line in the bilateral
negotiations now proceeding had
been reinforced by toe Commis-
sion’s provisions, which be wel-
comed, on tiie need for unilateral
action by the Community if the
bilateral negotiations did not suc-
ceed.

Britain wanted to see a success-
ful outcome to the Tokyo round.
She would nor rule out the agree-
ment which had been informally
and tentatively arrived at between
flie Community and the United
States negotiators for a 40 per cent
reduction in tariffs in two stages.
That would be acceptable if ir was
on certain conditions tote must be
Staled clearly

There was a need for major
reductions to high American aod
Japanese tariffs. Britain wanted
harmonization of tariffs and nor
last reductions. Britain needed
adequate safeguards to be used to
protect toe industry against
aggressive attack.

Britain warned to see toe United
States come into line on dumping
provisions of toe existing Gatt
code. The United States must un-
derstand that although Britain
recognized toe United States had
political and economic problems
and was ready to assdsr Britain also
bad political and economic prob-
lems which America must recog-
nize.

The Government would not
regard a policy of aggressive anti-
dumping action as an adequate or
proper response to problems in the
steel industry Britain looked to the
United States for a sensible and
statesmanlike approach to the pro-
blem, just as they would expect
Britain to show one ia the mitid-
flbre arrangement.

The Opposition amendment was
rejected by 302 votes to 270—
Government majority, 32.

Accommodation

It was disgraceful that British sol-
diers in Northern Ireland who were
doing such an heroic job should
-have to live in unsatisfactory ac-
commodation- Mr John Farr (Har-
borough, C) said.

Mr Frederick MnDey, Secretary of
State for Defence, said : Much
effort and expenditure has already
been devoted to improving stand-
ards, so far as possible in field
service conditions- of the condi-
tions of servicemen in Northern
Ireland. There are a few locations
where we have to remain for
operational reasons which could
not even by substantial expend-
iture be brought up to the stand-
ards T would wish to see.

These problem locations which

Tory peer
calls for
trade union
reform

House of Lords

Since 1974 the Government had
been acting like a mad surgeon
who first broke his patient’s leg in
order to show later on what a good
bone setter be was. Lord Carr of
Hadley said resuming toe debate
on the Queen's Speech.

At least (he said) wc are thank-
ful to come to die bone setting
stage but wc cannot forget toat it
was this Government’s own actions
which broke toe nation’s legs in
the first place.

The principal topics for debate
were economic and industrial
affairs. Lord Carr, for toe Opposi-
tion, said tt was essential for the
Government to continue the main
lines of the firm and prudent
financial and fiscal policy imposed
by the /Tearmctoiia] Monetary
Fund lost year.

The old trade union structure
was jnapropriate to the modern
conditions hi which they operated.
It was coupled with old fashioned
anJtudcs aod procedures.

We shall never be able (he said)
to remain competitive with other
countries to terms of our inflation
rate and at the same time enjoy
free collective bargaining unless
and until we reform our trade
union and industrial relations
structures and policies.

They must start work urgently in
making radical Improvements in
the free collective bargaining sys-
tem and there should be a Joint
discussion involving the Govern-
ment, toe CBI and the TUC. The
Government must take an initiativu
without delay and not leave it to a
crisis period wben a statutory or
colon Cary pay policy was coming
to an end.

Britain suffered, unlike other
countries, from large numbers of
small strikes which were unoffi-
cial. and almost at toe drop of a
hat This was immensely disrup-
tive. In other Western Industria-
lized countries, even fully
organized and recognized trade
unions did not have legal immunity
from civil action such as toe Bri-
tish trade unions enjoyed. These
sort of arrangements appeared to
have been rejected here.

Lord Peart of Workington. Lord
Privy Seal and Leader of the
House, welcomed ihe constructive
approach of Lord Carr on indus-
trial relations. He said this was a
challenge which a Labour Govern-
ment would have to take up. If the
Opposition were as constructive in
toe Commons, it might be uiat
considerable reforms could be
achieved in this section of the
economy where there was a need
to have good Industrial relations.

They did not wish to see men
strike at the drop of a hat; thev
deplored this. On toe other hand,
there were often good reasons.

We cannot (he said) be satisfied
with our progress in financial mar-
kets. iu balancing our external
account or bringing down toe rate
of inflation until It is reflected in a
sustained growth Jn consumption,
investment, production and
employment.

Increases in labour costs which
were fully financed bv parallel in-
creases in productivity were com-
patible with the Government’s
objectives of full employment and
a lower rate of inflation.

Increases in labour costs which,

I however, breached the Govern-
ment’s guidelines could on Iv
hinder .or prevent the Government
from reaching their objectives. It
was for this reason that the
Government had made it clear that
they did not intend to print money
1 in order to finance pay settlements
either in the public or private sec-
tor which were clearly in breach of
the guidelines.

The majority of the British
people were aware of the painful
consequences over toe past three
years of toe pay explosion of 1974.
They did not want to suffer any
repetition of that experience. The
■Government would continue to
take whatever measures might be
necessary to maintain the steady
recovery of toe ecoaomv.
lady Seear (LI said toe Liberals
were glad that toe Government had
reaffirmed in the Queen's Speech
I their determination to maintain the
pay policy. It was essential dial 10
per cent should be seen as an
average and not a minimum.

Peers should use their infi'jp--.-*
on trade intions and raanoccireni.
to see toat pay policy averaged 10
per cent or even, if possible, less.
She stressed the management side.
There was already an indication
toat some managers were ralting
the Hue toat toe term “ producti-
vity deal ” could be used very
usefully to overcome toe difficul-
ties of containing wage demands.

It was even murmered. and rhpre
were grounds for believing it to he
true, toat if there was a break in
toe pay policy it might come from
the management side.

Lord Gregsou. in a maiden snench,
said the product base of British
I industry bed shrunk at an aiming
rare over the past few yetes. parti-
cularly when reined to toe ernan-
sion of the product base by Ger-
manv and Jaoan.

Lord Man croft (C) said toe enmri-
bntiou to toe economy bv small
businesses was quite dispropor-
tionate to their size. Thev conTd
contribute erea more if thev did
not suffer from vindictive taxation

successful.

Lord Robbins said there was no
exaggerating the extent tn which
toe deterioration of toe value ot
money was lowering toe general
moral tone of sorierr and spread-
ing cynicism and division among
its members.

Lord Auckland (C) said the
Government were now suffering
from some of toe same headaches
end problems toat the previous
Government suffered from. It was
essential toat if the Government
continued to stat'd firm on too
guidelines they had Isid down they

should receive support from every-
one.

Lord Eaioeh (Lab) said he rearer-
fed the decision to free (be eonnd.
Security and certainty and the lack
of suspicion on toe part of inve«-
tors was extremely important.

The Earl of Gnwric (Cl fo- toe
QntJOSiTinn. gnid the relative flnan-
dal stability in Britain at present
had been bonjht at the exutnse of
rlrio? rather than maintained or
falling levels nf unemplm-ment.

Since these levels would ereulf a
generation of yourc ncopje

Britain was facing a nasty political

Court of Appeal

Deed valid without sealing

■First National Securities Ltd v
Jones and Another
Before Lord Justice Buckley, Lord
Justice Goff and Sir David Cairns
[judgments delivered November 4]

Where a legal charge or other
document is required to be
signed, sealed and delivered by
tbs signatory and attested by a
Witness, and is signed and wit-
nessed but not sealed, either with,
wax or a waiter seal, but the
document bears a circle inscribed
with the letters LS — locus sigui,-
tbe place for the seal— the docu-
ment is nevertheless sealed and
valid if it is intended by the
signatory to be delivered as bis
deed.

The Court of Appeal so decided
when allowing an appeal by First
National Securities Ltd, of
Harrow. Middlesex, from deputy
Judge McLennan, sitting at Stour-
bridge County Court last January,
upholding the decision of Mr
Registrar J. N. Taylor, dismiss-
ing the company's action for
possession of property at Old
WiofortL Stourbridge, mortgaged
by a charge made between the
defendant mortgagors. Mr
Christopher- Timothy Jones and his

wife. Mrs Sbirley Jones, and the
and fo

company, and for recovery of
money due to the company under
the charge.

Mr Hedley Marten for the com-
pany ; Mr Joseph Ricardo for the
mortgagors.

LORD JUSTICE BUCKLEY said
that Use company claimed upwards
of £5,000. The action before the
registrar was dismissed, apparently
on the ground that the
legal charge was not made under
seal, and the company appealed.
The judge's note was extremely
exiguous, and be gave no notice
of the reasons for his decision.
That procedure was extremely
unsatisfactory and not In accord,
a nee with practice. The appellant
should obtain a copy of the judg-
ment, or a note by counsel or
solicitor, approved by the judge,
for submission to the court.

7t seemed that the judge dis-
missed the action for the same
reason as the registrar, that the
charge was not made under seal,
from which be concluded that the
company bad no right to relief.
There was no oral or other
evidence before the judge ; merely
affidavits of the husband, the
party to the charge; two of which
showed the state of the account
Conscauenrly, apart from the
question whether the charge was

executed under seal, no
Issue seemed to have been
adjudicated at all.

The company was a bank and
had used its standard form, beaded
“ Legal charge ”, showing the
customers and identifying the pro-
perty to be charged and a pre-
existing first mortgage.

The form began 4 ‘ Now this deed
witnessed! " and ended “ In wit-
ness whereof the mortgagor has
hereunto set Ms band and seal the
day and year first before writ-
ten Then there was a circle
inscribed with the letters LS and
the words, “ Signed, sealed and
delivered by the above-named
mortgagor in the presence of. .
Across the circle was the hus-
band’s signature and underneath
the wife’s, although that was un-
necessary since the charge was
created by the husband alone.

In tn re Savdilands ((18711 6
LR CP 411) a deed bad no physical
seal, but there was green ribbon
where the seal should have been,
and it was held that the deed was
sufficiently executed. Neither wax,
waiter, nor anything else was

necessary. Attestation was prima

Fade evidence that a deed was
signed, and provided that It was
signed no impression was required.

In In re Balkis Consolidated Co
Ltd ((1888) 58 LT 300) the a ue^-
tion was whether a document
signed by a shareholder was a
transfer of shares by deed. There
was no seal or waifer seal but a
circular mark on the paper, indi-
cating “ place for seal - Counsel
argued that as there was no seal
the document was invalid. The
court refused to rectify the
register on rbe ground that there
was Insufficient material to decide
whose name should be on tbe
register and that the deed was not
properly sealed- Mr Justice North
referred to In rc SandUands bat
thought it did nor help.

Sandilands was further con-
sidered in National Provincial
Bank of England v Jackson ((1885)
33 Ch 1). Lord Justice Lindlev
described it as "a good na cured
decision ”, tbe court bad gone as
far as it could, but he would not
have reached the same decision.
Lord Justice Cotton thought that
the ribbons were merely to keep
the seal in place and that the
question ws what was the true
inference of fact. No inference of
sealing, be said, could be drawn
when the attesting witness did not
rcnall tbe signatory putting his
thumb on the circle.

The most recent decision was
that of Mr Justice Danckwera -in
Stromdnle & BoD. Ltd v Jackson
([1952) 1 Ch 223). His Lordship
considered that the encircled LS
was a place indicating a seal, not
for a seal, and was an element of
acknowledgment that the signa-
tory Intended to deliver the docu-
ment as his deed.

In the present case there was no
actual evidence to indicate whether
Mr Jones did or did not intend
to deliver the document as bis
deed, but in these modern days an
encircled LS, was a familiar
feature of documents. Intended to.
serve the purpose of a seal If the
signatory intended to deliver the
document as ids deed. The mort-
gagor had placed his signature
across the circle. In his Lordship’s
view that was sufficiotf evidence
that the charge was executed as the
mortgagor’s deed. There was no
evidence before the judge that il
had not been so executed and he
was wrong in concluding that the
charge did not amount to the mort-
gagor's deed.

There remained the matter of
the accounts not . yet investigated
by the judge. The appeal should
be allowed and the case remitted
tn the County Court for a new
trial on the basis that the charge
was sealed.

LORD JUSTICE GOFF, concur-
ring. said that in this day and
age documents purporting to he a
deed ought to be taken as such,
even though the document bore
onlv an indication of where the
seal should be. Jacksons case was
dedded on facts by the Court of
Appeal and did not preclude their
Lordships from reaching that vlew-

SIR DAVID CAIRNS, also con-
curring, said that Mr Justice
Dane la verts was right- Provided
that there was an encircled LS, a
document would still be properly
sealed even though tbe signature

was not over tbe circle, but oppo-
1, sealed

site the words ' signed,
and • delivered.” It would be
lamentable it business documems
so signed could be successfully
challenged.

Tbe appeal was dismissed and
leave to appeal refused.

Tunnel Refineries Ltd v Inter-
vention Board for Agricultural
Produce

Mr Justice Donaldson, in an action
commenced by the plaintiff com-
pany, Tunnel Refineries Ltd,
against the defendants, the Inter-
vention Board for Agricultural
Produce, a bodv corporate set up
by section 6 »f the European Com-
munities Act. 1972. for the pur
pose of implementing the provi-
sions of the common agricultural
policy in the United Kingdom,
ordered that the validity of Coun-
cil Regulation (EEC. No 1U1/77
nf Mqy 17. 19,7, be referred to
the Court of Justice' of the Euro-
pean Communities for a pre-
liminary ruling In accordance with
article. 177 of the Treaty establish-
ing the Community, and that all
further proceedings be stayed until
the European Court had given its
ruling or until further notice.

The plaintiffs claimed a declara-
tion that the regulation was in-
valid and that the defendants were
not entitled to implement it on
the grounds, inter alia, that if
violated the principle of propor-
tionality in that it imposed a
wholly unfair burden on manufac-
turers of Isoglucose in the interests
of manufacturers of sugar.

Tbe regulation laid down com-
mon provisions for Iso glucose and

Humphreys v Board of
Managers of St George’s
Church of England (Aided)
Primary School

Where a woman teacher alleged
that school managers bad unfairly
discriminated against her on the
ground of her sex by promoting a
less well qualified male teacher,
the Industrial tribunal ought not
to have indicated their view that
she had failed to make out a
prima fade case at the end of
her evidence ; they should have
called on the respondents to pul
their cave.

Mr Justice Phillips, sitting in
the Employment Appeal Tribunal
with Mr A. C. Blvghton and Mrs
A. L. T. Taylor, allowed an appeal
by Mrs Linda Humphreys from a
decision of a Manchester indus-
trial tribunal last May That the
Board of Managers of St George's
Church of England (Aided) Pri-
mary School had unlawfully dis-

criminated against her on the
ground of her sex.

HIS LORDSHIP said that he
repeated and endorsed what was
said in Oxford v Department of
Health and Social Security (The
Times, May 71 that it was -only
In frivolous or exceptional pro-
ceedings that aa industrial
tribunal, when hearing a com-
plaint of sex discrimination,
should hold at the end of the
complainant’s case that there was
no case to answer. The hearing of
such a complaint was hound to
take the form of an inquiry as to
what had occurred. While not
saying that the most highly quali-
fied or most experienced applicant
for a job bad to be chosen, tbe
Appeal Tribunal thought that
where a better qualified candidate
was rejected an industrial tribunal
ought ordinarily to hear the
respondents’ case before deciding
the issue. Tbe case would be
remitted to a different industrial
tribunal.

Cable v Dallaturca
Mr Justice Cantiey refused to
order an unsuccessful plaintiff to
pay tiie whole of die defendant's
costs because tee defendant’s
solicitors had been Jn breach of
Order 38, rules 36 and 40 of tee
Rules of tee Supreme Court, in
foiling to serve on tbe plaintiff a
report of an expert witness whom
they wished to call to give
evidence.

HIS LORDSHIP said teat the
defendant bad been fortunate to
have his application to admit tbe
evidence accepted In spite of tee
solicitors breach of tee rules. It
was an act of grace on tee part
of the court which could not be
relied upon when parties who bad
broken tee rules wished to admit
evidence covered by them. The
rules were not observed as meticu-
lously as they ought to be- They
were in strong terms and should
be strictly enforced. It was fitting
in tee present case to mark the
view the court took of tee impor-
tance of the rules not only for
tee benefit of tee parties bot
also for tee benefit of tee pro-
fession. Tbe defendant would
recover all his taxed costs up to
the date of tee trial and there-
after only half his costs of tee
trial.

for hearing 1 before a judge at tee

under rule 92(2) of tee Matri-

it desirable for tee matter to be

Continued from page 1
As the Prime Minister
bought time in August, 1925,
with the temporary subsidy to
the miners, and with a royal
commission on the coal in-
dustry the following month,
Anderson. then ■ Permanent
Secretary to the Homo Office,
took over the Supply and

lished by Baldwin in 1923
under the provisions of tbe
Emergency Powers Act, 1920.
England and Wales were

As the more sensitive
Labour ministers rectal this
week from tee spectre .of
Strike-breaking, they ought

profit from a quick look at a
set of highly secret papers
released at the Public Record
Office in Kcw earlier this year.
They cover the decision of tbe
Attlee government in May,
1946. to revive the supply and
transport organization per-
fected by Sir John Anderson.

The Cabinet minutes for
March 8, 1946, read : “ There
was general agreement that the
Government must accept the
responsibility for seeing that,
in the circumstances contem-
plated bv the Emergency
Powers Act. 1920 (which might
arise, not only from industrial
disputes, but also as a result of
action taken by political extre
mists) rhere, was no wide;
spread or lasting breakdown of
services.”

The Prime Minister slapped
down Aneurin Bevan, the left-
wing Minister of Health, who
said he could not support the
reconstitution of a supply and
transport organization. Man-
ning should be left until an
emergency arose. " He doubted
whether It was practicable to
prepare in advance plans for
meeting a purely hypothetical
situation”, the minutes record.

A . Cabinet committee,
chaired by the Home Secre-
tary, Chutsr Ede, had wanted
employers and trade unions to
be taken into the Government’s
confidence. . with ministers
emphasizing that their plans

were being made on a national
rather than a sectional basis.

But tee dominating voice of
that Cabinet, Ernest Bevinl
Foreign Secretary, changed all
that.

“ The trade unions would
expect the Government to he
ready to maintain essential ser-
vices in an emergency; but if

they were asked in advance to
collabi

ionite in devising an
organization for this purpose
they might regard this as an
invitation to assist in building
up a strike-breaking organiza-
tion ”, Bevin said. As a result,
the knowledge of the Cabinet’s
decision was restricted to a
handful of ministers and senior
civil servants.

As the present Cabinet’s
resolve wobbles, through this
winter, its members could not
wane for a better statement of

principle than that drafted by
the Chuter Ede committee and

accepted by the full Cabinet in
1946: “ It is the elementary
duty of the government of the
day to ensure that the com-
munity is not deprived of the
essentials of life. It follows
that if the normal means of
supplying those essentials
break down, whether as a
result of industrial disputes or
as a result of an attempt by a
political- faction to coerce the
community, the Government
must provide alternative
machinery of its own.”

Battered wives:
the time-bomb that
threatens us all

•' by Margaret Legum,

economist and author* who is a. member of the advisory committee
to Chiswick Women’s Aid

** there must- be another it
side to this” Thus all

sceptical neighbour, re- ;
acting to recent publicity over j
r.fwwncV-W'iitiAn’t Aid and its ft

Chiswick -Women's Aid and its
redoubtable founder, Erin
Fizz^y, ■ This is probably a conn
mon reaction: and it is time that
the issues were clarified. There
is a deep -and dangerous ambiva-
lence about, the importance, to
Britain’s fature of the cod se-
quences of violence within -the
family.

Traditionally, domestic . vio-
lence has been seen as' some-
how less serious, less threaten-
ing, more containable than vio-
lence in the- streets—public, im- .
personal assault. Murder statis- jj
tics have ■ been divided into ■
domestic and public categories,
with -the implication that the .
former had less public connote- jj
tions and consequences than tee
latter, and so less interest for
policy makers. -

Gradually we have come to
understand that since tee family
is the 1 primary socializing influ-
ence on the next generation, of
citizens, family violence may be
tee more vicious, may indeed
have tee most serious implica-
tions for public policy. It may
even be teat the more “per-
sonal ” tee acr of violence, tee
more damaging it is co the per-
sonality of tee victim. Cer-
tainly it is accepted teat the
earlier in life it impinges, the
more difficult it will be to eradi-
cate tbe effects.'

Moreover, recent publicity
about the plight of women
trapped with their children in
violent homes has engendered ,
a great deal of public sympathy, j
So the plight of Erin Pizzey
and tee dire financial straits
of her refuge must be explained
by lack of precise understand-
ing of the issues at stake for
public policy.

In essence there are two
simple Questions. First, should ;
all women who are subject to
gross and repeated physical
attack by their male partners
have available somewhere in
Britain a place of refuge to
which they can Gee at a
moment’s notice ? In other
words, should there exist at
least one “ casualty ward ” from
which no one in that kind of
danger w£U be turned away ?

Second, do at least some of
these women and some of their
children need care and therapy,
in relation to the violence they
have suffered — in addition to
immediate sanctuary ?

The Government’s answer to
the first question is a qualified
“yes”, in the sense that it
claims such refuge already
exists. Since Chiswick Women’s
Aid (CWA) was founded six
years ago, refuges have sprung
up in other parts of Britain.
They are mostly small, and
theiT addresses are secret for
fear of discovery by violent
tr.en. Women are referred to
them by social services
agencies. Citizens* Advice
Bureaux and the like. They are
generally full, and accept' new
applicants only when places are
available. They are linked to a
London office, the National
Federation of Women’s Aid
refuges, which acts as a clear-
ing house, trying to place
women who telephone if they
have not found places at their
local refuges.

These refuges, therefore,
cannot act as a reliable casual-
ty ward. A woman who needs
to flee at night — tee most com-
mon need — may be faced with
closed doors, unanswered tele-
phones and secret addresses.

Mrs Erin Pizzey : Government hostility.

CWA is the only nationally
known address, end its “open
door* 1 policy is no secret. No
one is turned away for lack of
space : any battered woman and
her children are received at
once into tee safety and sup-
port of a large group.

This is a nuisance for tee
borough of Hounslow, where
CWA is sited. The council com- j
plains, with justification, that
tee n open door ” policy lands
it with a burden which should
be shared by others. Tbe Gov-
ernment agrees. CWA, it says,
should limit itself to a local
catchment area, like tee rest,
and turn people away when it
has reached its statutory Hunt.
The existence of other refuges,
it insists, has coded tee need
for CWA’s national open- door.

Unfortunately this is not tbe
position. Many women and
children arrive at CWA from
boroughs which hove no refuge.
And, more surprisingly, a' break- J
down of tee areas from which]
CWA has received families
over the past year shows that
the largest numbers come from
boroughs or counties ' where
refuges do exist

Some of the women come to
CWA because they were not
aware that they had a local
refuge, the rest because .
had been turned away for
of space. They have come to
CWA because its address is
public. Erin Pizzey is charged
with overcrowding because sbe
will not turn them away. The
alternative ro bote overcrowding
and- a closed door— the provision
of more accommodation— is not
considered feasible by tee
authorities.

It is sometimes said teat Erin
Pizzey encourages overcrowding
by not moving women out of tbe
refuge quickly enough— even
that she refuses local authority
offers of rehousing. Both claims
are untrue. Tbe great majority
of women stay at tee refuge for
a very few days before returning

home or maiding other arrange-
ments. But there are some — a
substantial minority — who re-
turn repeated ty or who simply
know teat they cannot . cope with
their own lives or tee care of
their children - without longer-
term help.- And tins raises tee
second, more complex, issue of
therapy and rehabilitation for
chronic victims of violence.

Thus far the Government is
not convinced teat tee problem
of family violence is basically
more than a housing matter:
battered women and their chil-
dren, it is thought, need only
alternative homes to the violent
ones they have -left. In this
philosophy tee . Government is
broadly supported by tee
national federation, which sees
itself as a part- of a militant
women’s movement, and the
problem of family violence as
a simple manifestation of a
capitalist and. sexist society. It
rejects an individual thera-
peutic- approach as insulting tq
women, defining tee solution in
terms of settling women in
communal homes for mutual
support.

Erin Fine

different, d _ .

for both tee victims and. the
perpetrators of violence in per-
sonal terms. The fact is that tee
; majority, of women who enter

is

xzey*s approach
l eaning the problem

j of tee men they have left-have

violence as

known domestic
children. • '

Some have been direct vic-
tims, others have been only
witnesses to battering. Many of
these have battered their own
chOdmi; and. most of them
admit to a longing for help in
teat area. They respond posi-

tively to the offer of therapy

in the matter of persona!
violence, bote as victims and
as perpetrators. Some of teem
dread the prosoect of leaving
the support of the refuge, being
certain they will return to tee
culture of violence in one form
or another.

What is to be done for these
numbers ? If rbeir children are
taken into care they are likely
to abandon teem and then re-
place teem via a new, generally
violent relationship. If they
leave with tee pest unresolved

they are likely to return to tee

only load of relationship that
is familiar to them.

What they need is to be taken
into care, with their children,
while they learn new patterns
of relation-ships and are able to
leave behind them tee old
violent habits, received and
given.

No one knows quite how this
can be done. But CWA is the
only institution in Britain — in-
deed probably in tee world —
with some experience of han -
line violent families — for tec
violent men are pot ignored in
the therapeutic process. The
German Government has
recently established a system of
refnge based on teerapeutic
methods learnt at CWA. Hardly
a week passes without foreign
professionals — American, Euro-
peans, Scandinavians — visiting
CWA for advice and first-hand
experience. Erin Pizzey and her
staff are constantly invited to
speak abroad about their
methods.

British professionals, too, are
showing a growing interest- The
results of family violence
. become more obvious and'
| frightening — soaring rates of
’ violent, so-called motiveless ”
crime, revealing younger and
younger perpetrators of bote
sexes ; frightened teachers ;
mental hospitals refusing court
referrals of violently deranged

individuals ; an increasing sense

oi helplessness about where and

bow ro contain tee criminally

insane, apparently addicted to
violence.

Yet as far as the Government
and Hounslow council are con-
cerned tee issue of tee open
door — Erin Pizzey*s refusal to
turn people away — is apparently
an insu rm o u ntable barrier to
official support — or even, so far,
to serious investigation of tee
work ar CWA. The- hostility en-
gendered by tee open door
policy seems to have blinded
J the authorities to tee appalling
!< dangers in our midst.

: j As they see it, tee problem
;■ of battered wives wfll have been
taken caz^ of .by tee end _of
this year when, with luck, tee
new Homelessness Bill will have
been passed. It would give local
authorities tee obligation to re-
house battered women - as a
priority. This- may take care of
the .housing (ie, roofs over
heads) factor on a long-term
basis. But ir does not solve tee
problem of tee “ emergency
ward”. And it begs the ques-
tion of care and therapy, for
families enmeshed .in violence*

and perpetuating it from one

generation to the next.

CWA represents one solitary
attempt to break tee cycle of
domestic- violence, to rescue
hard-bitten six-year-olds, al-
ready murderous 11-year-olds
and desperately dangerous
teenagers from perpetuating the
only pattern -of human contact
they nave, experienced — abuse,
assault and rape. The methods
used may' not prove to be the
right ones ; and they are always
open to amendment. But they
should surely be taken seriously
as possibly. providing some clue,
to . defusing the time-bomb of
violence bred in British homes,
and bound to explode in tomor-
row’s Britain.

There will be
no Latin orations for this

royal visit

As tbe Queen swept through
the streets of Cambridge ar
three miles an hour, the under-
graduates, kneeling, hailed her
in Latin. Entering King’s, she
received j lengthy welcome,
again in Latin, in which lan-
guage she next day heard an
hour-long sermon tn the Chapel,
followed by a production oE
Aulularia, bv Plfutus. On the
following afternoon, tee enter-
tainment consisted of debates,
in the obligatory Latin, on tee
virtues of the monarchy and
on “Is it better to eat more at
dinner or supper ? ” In the
evening. Her Majesty watched
a play by an English author,
written in Latin verse. Next
day, she declared herself so
pleased that she would stay for'
another night, and would have
stayed longer if tee beer and
ale had lasted.

That was the royal visit of
400 years ago. When the Queen
visits Cambridge today to open
Wolfson College, sbe is not ex-
pected to undergo such intellec-
tual entertainment. She will
leave in tbe afternoon, and tee
Duke of Edinburgh will stay to
carry out his ditties as Chan-
cellor of tee University.

Most royal visitors to Cam-
bridge in tee past 400 years
have had more of a fuss made
of them, according to Royal

Cambridge by Marion Coltborpe
(recently published .by Cam-
bridge City Council at £155).
But then, more was expected
of teem.

When Elizabeth 1 rode through
the colleges to bid farewell
after her visit in 1564 sbe spoke
her thanks in both Latin, sad
Greek, “ail being marvellously
astonied ”, before riding off on
the arduous trek to Long Stan-
ton (now a few minutes up tee
main road). She never returned,
and this was for most of her
Cambridge subjects, before the
days of rapid transport and tee
Christmas broadcast, their only
chance to see what teeir
monarch looked like.

Even 12-year-old princes
were made much of by. tee
academics. At as age when
today’s royalty is scarcely
allowed out on its own. Prince
Charles (later to set up in busi-
ness as tee king of the same
name) discovered himself -beral-

ded by trumpets placed on the
top of the - - • •

St John’s tower. He

too was welcomed, and expected
to reply, in Latin, tee language

of a lengthy comedy to which

He was very attentive, but his

Frederick, nodded off.

thermore, 23s 4d was spent on
carting away ice. and. snow from
tee streets.

Equally high standards, were!
kept up when .Charles returned
as King in 2632: ho tobacco
to be taken into . tee Trinity
College' Hall where plays were
staged, and ' no “humming,-
hawking, whistling,' ; hissm& or
laughing” Wien one of these
dramas turned out to- be a
seven-hour bore,', tee Vice-,
chancellor, also in trouble -for
conferring degrees on unworthy
candidates (for tee' fees
involved), did the decent thing
and hanged himself. •

And so HopaZ Cambridge
continues, with its- chronicle oE
show-stopping luxury. Hobson’s
Conduit ran with claret to greet
Charles n in 1671. Sixteen
dozen larks were consumed in
the Feast to honour. William' HI
in 1639. For King George TI in
1728, it was' 60fHb : of batter.
Victoria and Albert were
greeted- wite . a 30,000 cubic
foot gas ^balloon in 1847,;

Wolfson College need not
-feel .it has to match this
splendour. By ,1955 celebrations

had bees cranked down to such
an extent that the high points
of the royal visit were tee
presentation of a book on mer-
chant shipping to tee Duke , of
Edinburgh “and tee donation to
the Queen -of a . painting of one
of her horses.

jffifc Singers/ Poc^e
St John’s ,

PadGitetlK •

The early evening concerts
given by the BSC Singers at St
ohn’s. Smith - Square, are
a lw ays rewarding. Last year
they introduced us to less
familiar aspects of Brahms, and
this season they -are doing- the-
same for Richard Strauss. Heir
programme on Monday, only
an hour long, was framed
by the two chord songs which
‘make up Strauss’s Op 34, “Der
Abend ** ' and “ Hymne ' Both -
are ripe products of the year
1897, richly scored, you might
almost say orchestrated, for
voices in . 16 parts.

: 0 Der Ahead wfech sets
SdUBec’s vision of Phoebus
descending into the waters, is a
penicu&ady Josh piece, arad. I
would have preferred more than -
the four. dozen voices of the
augmented BBC Singers to

out its giowiag harmooies. How-
ever, there -were many beaut ie s
of phrasing and' texture in this
performance directed by John'
Poofle, not least at the begin-
ning, where high sopranos held
due sun hr its zenith and other
voices " were folded - into- the
music. 7

The size of Mr Poole’s fhqrus

was . more appropniafie - in the

- other Strauss song; ** Hymne”,
winch depends on a: degree of
coraatapunSaS dstEiutioii. There a
12-part chorus m mg s ' Suckers
raterpretawon of the: Joys mid
sorrows <rf the .fadBer. whose
prodfeafl son • has.', returned,
white a soialier grpup provides
the hewaafly -.'roioes ,for‘ the
ref-rain “ Oh, grieve no more ! *

The contrast cocdd ’have.been
pointed without excessive
[ dranratisnitkmj .1 think, by plac- r
ing tbe semtefeftrus at. some
distance from thekarger body. I
: hope the BBC Singers, and other
i groups, w31 Wave - the oppdr-

■ tmwty to-' try tins out in f ormer
performances of these marvel-
lous "rfod \LoexpIicah3y neglected

i works. T. ■ .

The neglect of Kurt WeilTs
> Recordare , which has apparently
) not heen : sung here since the
J BBC -Singers introduced it to
. Britain almost two years ago,
is rather less inexplicable. Far
1 removed from the style of The
Threepenny Opera, Weill’s i
1 choral piece was composed some
i years earlier, and exists some-
where iu a limbo between
Busoni and Schoenberg. There

■ are polyphonic sections, which
sound a ba* like chorale preludes

f by Rtvfi, and the whole work is
bathed in grey atonal harmony.

- - No doubt it is an earnest effort^

5 but it fails in bringing any

urgency to the much set words
of Jeremiah. The boy choristers
of St Paul’s, required in die
•latter part of the work, were
understandably ill at ease.

j Luxon/Willison

Thomas W alker

There are , two ways of
reacting to music programme
notes on Radio- 3. _ One can
Tflir a comfort in their smooth
confidence, in their assurance
that yet another fragment or :
repertory has been suitably ,
labelled and assigned its proper .
place in the m n s enm . Or one-.'
can be irked by their institu-
tional smugness and, at times,
bland vulgarity. I leave it to
the reader in devine my own.
tendency, with only the butt
that Monday’s BBC lunch-
time concert by Benjamin
Luxon David Wiliison At St
John’s, Smith Square, was, des-
pite the spoken imerpolatjons,
an occasion of considoaWe
enjoyment.

Unity in Schube rts Schwan -
engesang is an elixsiwe,_ if not
spurious concept, since its exis-
tence as a “ cycle” derives
from a publisher’s gimmick
after the death of the composer.
Ar most there ore the kernels of
two ditt-incr unities, in the com-
paratively direct poems by
Rellstiab and in the far starker,
pungent, sometimes convoluted
verses of Heine.

Mr Luzon underscored the
groupings, by . moving the set-
ting of Johann SeidL’s “Die
Taubenpost” from its pibace ai
The' end of the published ver
sion to the middle,_so that it
served as r. transition from
Rellsmb to Heine, instead of

Minter beats Finnegan a third time
to relieve him of his British title

Alan Minter became the British
middleweight champion when he
beat Kevin Finnegan, the holder,
^ points at the Empire Fool,
•Vembley last night, Minter had
defeated Finnegan for the vacant
title In 1975 and again in defence
of it in 1976. Less than two
months ago Minter lost his Euro-
pean championship on a cut fore-
head.

The early action was careful and
calculating, Winter's southpaw

right jab against Finnegan’s ortho-
dox left, with neither man pre-
pared co try anything adventurous
yet. The first real punch was
Ffoaegan's right to Mincer's' body,
and Minter Immediately paid off
the score by snapping twee Jabs
Into Finnegan's face. Mtafter
lauached bis first assault near the
end of the round and Finnegan
retaliated immediately.

Minter was surprisingly pre-
pared to box Finnegan Instead of
Ogbtiog Mm, and his jab was
busy again In the second round.
It was a contest of skill up to
this point, with nothing heavy-
handed and much class on both
sides. Minter could rarely have
been so restrained ; and his tac-
tics were paying off as be went
after the champion.

Finnegan was not living up do
his promise of a fast star. He
gave away the first three rounds
against Minter last time and be
was equally slow to get going now.
Only the occasional straight left
scored points. Minter was the more
enterprising again until late in
the third round, when Finnegan
came to life with a sudden two-
handed flurry.

Finnegan continued to play the
waiting game in the fourth and
Minter held on to the Initiative
without much difficulty. His jab-
bing was the more accurate. The
champion was under steady' pres-
sure as Minter moved forward
confidently. Finnegan suddenly
came oat of bis sheH, and the
pace quickened ; but Minter main-
tained Us boxing and gave nothing
away.

There was st*n a lot ot
exaggerated respect in the con-
test and, with a quarter of It
gone, neither man seemed pre-
pared to make the first commit-
ment. Finnegan scared at the
start of the fifth. Minter paying
him bade with a solid left to the
chin, and finally they came ooe
to toe fix' a few seconds. A few
punches and some hard looks
were exchanged, then it was back
-o wafting and jabbing.

Tactically. It was an absorbing
bent, with Matter's boxing hold-
ing up remarkably well afiainst
the expected greater skill of
Finnegan. Minter was content to
jab along with Finnegan and pre-
serve his slender lead. It was time
for Finnegan to make am effort,
nut in round six It was Minter
who threw the big punches,
almost die first of the contest.
They were good scoring ones and
:t was a successful round for
l.in».

Minter made the running again
in the seventh, keeping the pres-
sure on Finnegan and staying cool
when the champion retaliated.
There was one solid right-hander
apiece midway through the round.
Each man took his punishment
without hiss. The more aggressive
Minter, still boxing beautifully,
looked much the more impressive
at this stage.

After their previous battles Min-
ter must have been astonished at
how' unpuoishing this one was
turning out to be. If Finnegan was
playing a waiting game, he had
already waited too long, and Min-
ter was cruising away from him
without having gone above
three-quarters speed. When Fin-

began did let go, his effort was
marched.

Finnegan tried to raise the pace,
hut Minter was solid behind a good
defence and always ready to flash
a counter punch. Midway through
the ninth the first blood appeared,
from a cut on the champion’s left
eyebrow.. It was sot yet serious,
but vulnerable to Mincer's right
Jab. The injury seemed to bring
Finnegan to life. He boxed
smartly for the rest of the round.
Bat so did Minter.

Finnegan, the man of sktll,
tiled to tempt Minter, the
battler, into a stand-up fight in
the 10th. bat Minter refused the
bait and continued to frustrate
Finnegan with the right-jab attack
to cbe face. Mincer’s restraint
was extraordinary, but it was
winning the contest for him and.
when Finnegan fought his wzy to
close quarters, Minter hooked him
with a tremendous left to the chin.

There was a flare-uo in round
11. punches flying for a few
seconds. Minter collected a
bruise under the right eye. and
at last Finnegan was beginning co
see something for his night’s work.
But he could not dominate Min-
ter ; indeed, be had failed to do
so at any stage. This was a con-
test of skill and Finnegan was
still losing it.

Finnegan tried to change the
pattern in tefa 12th. but Minter
did not permit it. The challenger
was prepared to match his lab
against the champion’s and.
although , Finnegan had bis
moments of success, they were
not sustained. One good right
hand from Finnegan bad Minter
briefly off balance. Finnegan had
one good burst inside, but when
they came toe-to-toe in the dosing
seconds the challenger held his
own.

Almost Tor the first time Mlmer
opened up with both bands with-
out being provoked in the 13m.
and now seemed prepared to try
his strength against an opponent
whose form had been disappoint-
ing. For a few moments it got
rough and Finnegan picked up a
second cut over his left eye as
tnelr heads rubbed. But the gen-
eral situation was unchanged, and
Finnegan needed to do a lot in
the last two rounds to save his
title.

The pace increased in the 14tb.
but solid punches were few and

far between- Both men missed
more than they landed until there
were one or two solid connexions
In die dosing minutes. Finnegan
hurt Mincer near the end of the
round. There was 3 brief free-
for-all in a neutral corner.
Finnega n bad still not managed to
grab the initiative.

'With one round to go. Finnegan
went in at close quarters to avoid
Mincer's jabs. He also shook him
with a big punch over the top, but
the challenger was still foil of
aggression. Defences were thrown
away as they stood and punched it
out. Minter did most of the big
scoring. Finnegan came again with
a grandstand finish and Minter
had to hang on before fighting
back.

Maurice Hope gave another ex-
citing and totally ruthless per-
formance in rend nlng his Euro-
pean light- middle weight cham-
pionship. He knocked out Joel
Bonnetaz, the French champion,
after lmin 25 sec of the fifth
round.

The Frenchman was a courage-
ous challenges' but never had
enough skill co make any red im-
pression on Hope, who is world
class. Forced to trade most of
his talent overseas because of a
lack of demand at home, Hope
came into the ring prepared to
enhance bis stature and clearly
succeeded.

A potent short left early In the
third round turned the contest in
Hope's favour. Bonnetaz left his
chin wide open as he came in
with a left hander and was
promptly caught. Hope realized
that he tad broken the French-
man’s confidence with that punch
and, from then on, speeded up the
action. Bonnetaz no longer had
any real chance.

The champion opened up
strongly with both hands and, un-
like the first two rounds, was In
good range all the time. Bonnetaz
back-tracked consistently in the
fourth and in the fifth ran Into
serious trouble.

Hope unleashed a fierce left
hook as Bonnetaz was up against
the ropes. One punch followed
another as Hope pushed his man
around the ring with great
authority, ft was no surprise when
Bonnetaz went down on his knees
and could only scare up as the
referee, Sanchez Vilar, from
Spain, counted him out.

Mr Bearzot said: ** This is no

Transfer listed Dennis Tueari is
in a 14-strong party announced by
Manchester City for tonight's
march against Luton Town at Old
Trrfford . in live second replay,
third round League Cup tie.

Tueart was left ou of the last
replay, a move that prompted him
to ask for a transfer.

Tueart was originally ruled out
with a hamstring Injury. He has
recovered but has now missed the
last four games.

The Cky manager, Tony Book,
said : “ I will think about my
team and announce it shortly be-
fore the kick-off.”

Meanwhile there have been no
fresh moves for Tueart. Aston
Villa are the only club co have
made a firm inquiry, but their
manager, Bon Saunders, saJd:
“ Tbe deal is off as far as Fm
concerned.” Saunders would not
give his reasons bat they could
be financial ones. Tueart is on
a three-year contract with City
which guarantees him £400 a
week.

Queen’s Park Rangers. Arsenal
and Newcastle United are all said
to be interested but again Tueart’s
salary could probably rule him
out.

Brian Stein and Martin Sperrin.
who have played in only three
reserve games, stand by for
Luton.

Tbe 20-year-old strikers were
signed by the Luton manager.
Harry Haslam, in a £2,000 deal

From Rex Bellamy
Tennis Correspondent

San Fnandsca, Not S .

The ferty-ntmi women’s tennis
contest for the Wightmaa Cap.
disputed by Britain and the United
States since 1323. wfll last .'five
days, ending on Saturday. That Is
more time than is necessary for
five singles and two -doubles. But
the organizers were forced to
incorporate ‘.rest days because the
Oakland Coliseum, - .an indoor
stadium. In suburban San
Francisco, had- previoqriy been
booked for basketball matches to'-,
morrow and on Friday.

The series was conceived as a
more eclectic competition titan
Jr became. But in tiie 'early years
Britain mid: the Unified .Sates
were' the countries who mattered,
in women’s tennis and other
nations have neither the mesas

nor tbe enthusiasm to send
women’s teams overseas. The
original purpose was not fulfilled
until the world championship for
the Federation Cup was in-

Britadn have won two of the
past three contests. But the
United States did not have a fuU
strength ' team either time. A
sounder guide to what may be
expected here occurred when the
United States won 5—2 at Crystal
Palace last year.

Their team then included, as it
does now, Billie Jean King and
Rosemary Casals who have never
played for a beaten Wtebnnan Cup
team. Christine Evert has done so
only once, at Cleveland two years
ago and has never lost a Wighzmau
Cup singles. '

Miss Even and Mrs King wQl
play two singles each, against
Virginia Wade and Susan Barker,
and Miss Casals will play at third
string against a newcomer to the
British team, Michele Tyler, aged
19. Miss Casals has lost an three
of her Wightman Cup singles and
is nor the effective ronrnament
competitor she used to be. But her
basic talent and greater experience
of big occasions should give her
an advantage over a somewhat
diffident if dogged youngster. Miss
'Tyler, though, has nothing to lose
and, if she plays her best tennis,
timid make Miss Casals vulner-
ably anxious.

Miss Wade, of course. Is capable
of beating. both Miss Evert and
Mrs King. But one tingles win is
the most that can reasonably be
expected of her. Miss Barker lost
some of her competitive edge this
summer and has recently been ant
of action. It is necessary to
Britain’s chances that she should
regain tbe form that took her to
the final of . the Virginia Slims
championship in New York last
March. But that is a lot to expect.

The doubles are unpredictable,
particularly as tbe imhh are still
officially unknown. But it is con-
ceivable that Britain will win one
of them.

It would be stretching optimism
to tbe limit to suggest that Miss
Wade, Miss Barker and Miss Tyler
could pick up three singles wins
between them and that .the
doubles could provide Britain with
the additional point they need. A.
more likely outcome, is a 5—2
win for the united States.

successive victory of their French
tour with a hard won 38-22 victory
over a determined regional selec-

Only a string of penalties, and
two late trios by Williams, saved
the All Blacks from a defeat, four
days before the first international
against France at Toulouse. The
All Blacks trailed 16-14 at half-
time, and their much vaunted for-
wards were given a severe drub-

pack.

McKeclmle landed penalties in
tbe sixty- fourth and sixty-eighth

Richard Harding, a former
Gloucestershire scrum half, makes
his first appearance for Norin
Midlands in their play-off of the
Midland group of the county
championship against Notts, Lises
and Derby at Moseley tottighr.

Harding stands in for Birming-
ham's Peter Bullock, who is in
Nigeria on business, and is one
of 13 Moseley players in the ride.
Kudi Smith, also from that club.
Is preferred to Malcolm Hall on
a wing. Warren. Moseley’s cap-
tain, White and Cox return to the
pack. The winners will be at
home to the northern champ iocs
in the semi-final on November G.

Alan Lawson, a Scottish inter*
national scrum half, is out of the
Middlesex sfde for their county
championship match with Kent at
Blackbekth in the London group
play-off today. Lawson, who has
played a key part in both the
success of the county and his club.
London Scottish, this season, is
unavailable because of business
commitments and bis place is
taken by Peter Rawle, of Harle-
quins.

Middlesex are also without
Christopher Ralston, their captein,
who dislocated: a shoulder in last
week’s win over Eastern Counties.
Hess, his Richmond colleague,
comes In at lock.

There are two other charges in
the back row. Mordell, of Ross-
lyo Park, returns after Injury for
Adrian Alexander on a flank.
Alexander Is holidaying In Kenya
and Kevin Bowring, of London
'Welsh, replaces David Cooke, of

Harlequins, who has a rib injury.
Rinley and I^rabcrt, who both
suffered injuries against Eastern
Counties, are expected to play.
However, Howcroft vul need a
fitness test on injured rib carti-
lages.

The winners at Blackheath will
have to wait until the northern
group is decided on Saturday to
discover their opponents in the
semi-final, Cheshire arc un-
changed from the side which lmt
to Lancashire for the vital game
asainst Yorkshire at WilmSlow. If
Yorkshire win they will clinch the
northern group championship, a
title which has eluded them since
1971. Cheshire could do a good
turn to Lancashire who are only
one point behind at the ton of tha
table, but Yorkshire arc firm
favourites.

Ian McGecchan. a British Lion
who Captained Scotland last
season, is to lead the Anglo-Scoty
against Edinburgh at Mradowbank
next Tuesday 17.01. He is one
of eight caps in the side, which
shows five changes from the team

able for th^t match and comes in
at stand-off half for the injured
Wilson, of London Scottish.

There were times when tbe lay

Alexander asked, with a theatrical
gesture that suggested that he
might have watched too much
second-rate television. But was It
cot the same in other walks of
life ? Mr Bailey countered. Do you
know what your next brief will

Mr Alexander said be did not.

other times we were Invited to
draw some sort of paraHel with
the activities of a mineral water
bottling company operating at
Bootle and a pharmaceutical com-
pany operating at all points of the
compass.

Tbe essence of the case against
the TCCB has been whether or
not tbe 20 county players listed as
having signed for Mr Packer (the
number has since grown to 22)
should be allowed to continue to
savour tbe delights of county
cricket. Tbe proposition, on the
face of it. is odd, for much of
the players' evidence was devoted
to a plaintive recital of the shoddy
way county cr+cket bad treated
them. Jack Bailey, secretary of the
ICC, wondered why the players
were so coniemptuons of the lot
of league cricketers hi tbe north
if things were so wretched among
tbe counties. Had not the leagues
been good enough for such men as
Learie Constantine and Gary
Sobers ?

All tilts Is within tbe contest ot
the change of roles announced by
the ICC and the TCCB last sum-
mer applying a ban at Test and
coonre level to those players who
remained with Mr Packer after
October 1. Mr Justice Slade is
being asked to rule, among other
things, whether or not this repre-
sented a restraint of trade and/
or an inducement to breach of
contract.

Given, Mr Robert Alexander.
QC, argued at the outset for Mr
Packer, that tbe announcement of
the ban might defer future play-
ers from taking part in Packet
marches (variously described as
world series cricket or super-
Tests by oare ride, and a circus
or exhibition matches by tbe
ether), why should the ban be
applied to cricketers who had al-
ready signed contracts ? Where
was the deterrent if the players
were already committed ?

Was this not, defence witnesses
were asked one after the other
by Mr Alexander and, later, Mr
Andrew Morrltt, QC, designed to
tempt players Into breaking with
Mr Packer ? Or was it, as the
other ride maintained, an invita-
tion to the players to reconsider
their positions to see if there
was any legal way of ** drawing
back from the brink ”, as Douglas
Insole, chairman of the TCCB, had
put it

Or, yer again, was the ban
designed to victimize players who
had exercised a perfectly under-
standable choice (it is Mr Alex-
ander again speaking) between a
firm contract on the one band,
come loss of torn or physical
setback, and only the vague uncer-
tainty of being offered work dur-
ing the English winter ' on the
other?

and discovered where one’s odious
sympathies lay: 1 .

During a reply be will some-
times seem to .busy himself with

other matters. On one such occa-
sion Mr Bailey stopped halfway
through his reply in the belief
that "I thought you bad stenped
listening to me Thus did be
command Mr Alexander’s atten-
tion. It may be that Mr Alexander's
hostility was purely»Jn the line of
duty. Ls he not a member of tbe
MCC?

Mr Merritt moved up to replace
Mr Alexander after the fourth
vreek. A man of different seic-
he eschewed the frills without any
loss of authority. His general
thesis seemed ro be that nobody
would suffer any hurt from the
Packer series, so why all the fuss,
why the burning desire to cut
off one’s nose to spite tbe fare
(the cliche is his) ? In his dex-
trous final address, a tour de
force that lasted more than 12
hours, he took the six Test- play-
ing countries one by one and
sought to prove that none would
be financially affected by the
Packer scries. The damage would
he caused by the bans. His analysis
went thus :

Australia : Although there was a
direct dash between Packer acd
home Test matches against India
this (English) winter, the weaken-
ing of the Australian team would
help to produce, a more evenly
matched contest, with, therefore,
gate receipts from five days instead
of, perhaps, three. As for
England’s arrival next winter, an
Ashes series had such a special
flavour that it was oven less likely
to be affected than an India series.
(If there is a touch of non
seqvitwr here* it belongs to Mr
Morritt and not to me. ) .

India : Thefr series this winter
In Australia would be all the mdre
interesting for . the home team’s

defections, as alreadv stated, and
the guarantee of payment had
already been agreed. Any series in
India clashing with Mr Packer
would be unaffected by the absence
of leading players because of the
enthusiasm for the game in tint
ern'etn.*.

Pakistan : Gates, similarly, arc
xo big on the Indian sub-continent
that star players otherwise engaged
would not be missed. They would
be proof even against the absence
Of fire Pakistani and five England
players in Australia this winter.

New Zealand : Tbe' non-avail-
ability of leading England players
this winter would be nothing new,
because it had always - been me
case that some players, left for
home after the Australian part of
the tour (a format now aban-
doned).

West Indies : Tbe Packer scries
does not dash with home scries.
Their players and the Australian
would be home In time for their
series early next year. They would
be able to field a full team in
England in 19S0. They did not
make profits from tours elsewhere.

• England : Totally unaffected
since there is no dash with Mr
Pecker. There was no reason whv
foil Test teams should not be
chosen once the ICC ban had been
lifted. Mr Morritt thought Is
should he left .to selectees, in thu
cause of team building, tu decide
whether nr not tp pick plavi-rs
next summer who bad prcribiwtv
made themsedves unavailable this
winter, and would do so aealn
cbe following winter, wften Eng-
land have to defend tbe Ashes
In Australia.

, And, with a few felicitous words
from Mr Justice Slacle, we .were
all dismissed, shortly to re-
assemble briefly for his judgment.

Since then, Dawnbreaker has
said his conqueror a vivid tribute

o cope with that, and at New

hat he could go on to even
treater things now that be has
icen taught to relax and learnt

Ron (1230) in his di vision, would
only increase confidence is Shore

because they finished first and

ing then at the end.

« Cheltenham last Sat u r day when
he was beaten by Pavement Artist.
Obviously, Hardatit. Havanas and
Line Shooter wfh all be hard to
beat if they turn out to be as
good at sreeplecbastag as they were
at hurdjhig, but at this juncture
the advantage lies with Rough and
Tumble.

Neither Hardatit; who won the
French champion hurdle nor
Havanas have run in a steeple-
chase. line Shooter did so at Ascot
last roctmfa, but even aBmring for
the fact that that was Ms first
race of foe season, he did not run

wen enough to convince me' that
. be will get the better of Rough and
' Tiimfe today. ,

• '.If . . Rough and. . Tumble 1 does
manage to win,. Ms rider, John
Francome, will obvionalv 1 he
hoping to land a double *by' win-
ning ihe Winterbourne Handicap .
Steeplechase as well ori Persian
Camp. Bat Persian Camp has six
, lengths to make up on ' Isle of
Man going on how they ran- at
Ascot recently.' Even an allow-
ance of an additional 71b from
Isle- of Man may not enable bun
t& peg back the' Queen Mother's :
free naming steeplechaser.' who
was dace one of Ms 'stable com-'
panions sit Fnirlawne when- they
were both' trained there by ' the
.late Peter Cazalet.

.Red bin and Perambulate must
also come into the reckoning
judged on the way they tan at
Cheltenham and Sandown. Redbln ’
ran on too strongly for Tree
Tangle at Cheltenham last Friday.
Before that Tree ’Tangle had
finished third to Tingle Creek and
FeramuZace at Sandown. Peram-
bulate would seem to' have the
beating of Redbin going on those
two performances, but he may
. snD not be good enough to cooe
. with Isle of Man, who won. the
Spring Steeplechase over today’s
course and distance in February.

- .Charles Vernon IflHer would
obviously like to win the Geoffrey
Eliot Memorial Handicap Steeple-
chase at Worcester with Ms old
favourite Bighorn, because the race
is .named after the man who was
one of Ms staunchest owners as
well as being, a much- loved
character in the area. Bighorn won
■ the corresponding race 12 months
ago When it was known by a
different name, but even with the
-best win In the world it is
difficult to envisage h<m beating
At mmin Rain .on this occasion.

Tony .and . Michael Dickinson have
won wo races in a row at
Worcester with Autumn Rais
already' this season and this looks
like the ideal opportunity for. them
to land a third.

Ihe Tote announced yesterday
that in. the first -six months of
foe current fiaandai year, thivr<
unaudited profits before tax were
£1378.000. ' This compares - with
£579,000 tor the same period last

year.

.Usually during foe mntxr
months losses are made by foe
.Tone because of meetings lost as
a result of bad -waasfaer, and be-
cause . of lower attendances or
racecourses. However, provided
font there is no abnormal hxa in
racing days, i be Tote expect to-
achieve a. profit of more than
•Elm m the foil year ending

Marefa 31. 1978. .*

This would be (he highest trad-
in* profit achieved by the Tote
since foe Batting and Gaming Ad
became effective' in 1951, and a
glowing reflection of foe drive
-and . leadership of .. .its current
chairman, Woodrow lYyatt.

Coolisball takes tbe last fence just behind Moon Trip before
winning tbe Hcatbfield Steeplechase at Folkestone.

Two winners at 33-1
have punters reeling

The £10,000 Mecca Bookmakers
Handicap Hurdle at Sandown Park
next month jy on foe schedule tor
Foolsomc, one of two 33-1 win-
ners font had punters reding at
Folkestone yesterday.

Foolsome. a five-year-old
trained under permit at Pens bury,
near Tunbridge Wells, by a
farmer Les Bowman, proved far
too good for hl« 11 rivals In foe
Appledore Handicap Hurdle. Tbe
gelding cruised past Easy Com-
mission between foe last two
flights and was pushed clear on
foe run-in by hie 23-year-old
claiming rider, Nick Holman, for
an impressive four-lengths victory
over tbe warm favourite, Jan
Stewer..

Bowman said : ** That’s foe

second time Foolsome has won
for me this year — and be also
started at 33-1 when scoring at
Sandown in February. I shall
bring him back here on November
21 tor an amateurs’ hurdle when
hell be ridden by Stuart Adam-
son, who woo on him at an down.
Then it’s back to Sandown for
foe big one on December 3. 1
oitiy race horses for a bit of fun,
so I’ve nothing to lose by caking
oo foe cracks.” He has only two
horses la training. Foolsome.
whom he bought for only £35 0
off a neighbour’s farmer, and
Bold Saint.

The day's other 33-1 winner was
a newcomer to jumping. Clothes
Line, in the second leg of foe
Burwash Hurdle. The flUy pro-
vided tbe Epsom-based Brooke
Sanders with her first riding suc-
cess under National Hum rules.
Miss Sanders, one of die top
woman jockeys over the past five
years, said : ’ I’ve ridden 17 Oat
winners altogether and unc in a
point-to-point, and this was only
my rtard mount under National
Hunt rules.”

Cl o these Line survived a mis-
take when closing on Chichester
Bird, but Miss Sanders kept her
head well and foe pair wore down
tbe favourite to score going away
by four lengths.

The first division of Clothes
Line’s contest went to San
Patricio. Guy Harwood, leading
trainer on die flat at Folkestone
in 1977, missed San Patricio's
victory because of a business com-
mitment. His gelding almost
threw tbe race away on tbe run-
in. He veered to the lett and
Rube's Wicket, one of three
seconds for John Gifford during
tbe afternoon, was able to reduce
foe winner’s advantage to a bead.

Ice skating

Triple jump increasingly
expected from women

Bv Dennis Bird

'The Richmond Trophy compe-
tition earlier this week spotlighted
foe dilemma which faces some
women figure skaters at foe
present time : whether or noi to
take foe risk of attempting triple
jumps in focir four-minuic free
skating p roc ram me.

Priscilla Hill, foe American who
won at kienmond, included only
one. the least difficult ; that was
a saJchow and she had too much
rotation for it tu be entirely suc-
cessful. Denise Biellmann, of
Switzerland, the best free skater,
tried three triples ; she did a toe
loop, fell on a salchow and failed
in ner attempt at foe formidable
triple luiz.

On the other hand, die British
champion. Karena Richardson,
restricted herself tn double jumps,
gave a faultless performance, but
lust marks because her programme
was less difficult. In terms nf cold
fact, the risk takers took foe
medals : Miss Richardson was
fourth, and had tu content herself
with the knowledge that ber
Jumps were more pleasing to
watch because of focir freedom
from error.

A triple jump is u dramatic
athletic feat requiring iliree full
turns in mid-air and a landing on
one foot on a clean and steady
edge. Ever since Richard Button
(United States) did foe first triple
In competition la 1952. male
skaters have included them in
their repertoire as a matter uf
course.

The triple jumps can make or
break a champion. They are ex-
citing in themselves,' and can
greatly heighten the drama uf
competition — as In foe 1962 world
men’s championship in Prague. On

tfutt ucuisiuo the local nun, Karol
Divin. was some 4U points ahead
on figures, but Donald Jackson, a
Canadian, did the first triple lutz
ever seen and took the title with
a row uf perfect marks of 6.0.

For reasons ul physique, women
were less ready to adopt the new
development in jumping, and it
was not until 2(1 years ur su niter
Button startled the judges at the
Oslo Olympics thin girls began to
tackle these jumps in earnest. At
first the triples were regarded as
spectacular tricks which only a
few skaters were brave enough ur
rash enough to attempt. Even
- nutv. no Olympic women's cham-
pion lias done them — not Pegny
Fleming, the classic American
artist of 196S nor the compulsory
fin ure specialist from Vienna,
Beatrix Schuba 1 19721. nor the
graceful winner at Innsbruck last
year. Dorothy Hamill (United
States).

Keith Kelli$-. Miss Richardson's
trainer, does nor regret tbe ab-
sence of a triple Jump from his
pupil's programme on Monday
night. The British champion has
often done triples in practice, and
will use (hem when she feels the
conditions arc right : at the Rfch-
'mond Trophy it was more imonr-
nrat to her to do a simpler pro-
gramme well. She was thus
spared the low of confidence which
so clearlv affected Miss Hill after
her faulrv rriple salchow.

Nevertheless foe triple jumps
are increasingly becoming an
essential weapon in foe women
skaters’ armoury. The judges now
expect them and it is unlikely that
the Olympic champion o( 19S0
could follow Miss Ram Ill’s ex-
ample of dispensing with them.

Packer brings in
new rule on
field placings

Melbourne, Nov 8 . — A new rule
restricting field placings will be
introduced by Kerry Packer’s
world cricket series to encourage
aggressive play during one-day
matches. Tbe rule, announced here
tonight by foe new body’s govern-
ing committee, lays down that
nine men must field within 30
yards of foe baesnun for foe first
10 overs of each 40-over innings
in a one-day match.

Two circles €0 yards in dia-
meter, centred on the stumps, will
be marked at each end of the
wicket in a bicycle- like layout.
Seven fielders, apart from the
bonder and wicketkeeper, must
keep within tbe batting circle for

10 overs. During foe remaining
overs four out of foe seven must
remain in foe circle at the moment
of delivery. If foe rule Is broken
a no- ball will be called.

Greg Chappell, a former Aus-
tralian captain, said tonight :

11 One of the failings of limited-
over cricket is defensive play.
This new condition will give
limited-over games a more nat-
ural flow. As a batsman, I believe
we’ll be able to make more use of
normal cricket shots, and the idea
Should offer the spectators more
runs.”

THE TIMES WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 9 1977

J. T. Delane, the prince of editors

40 years of political dynamite
at Printing House Square

Editors of The Times tend to
be durable as well as distin-
guished men. There have been
only 10 of them since Barnes
tot* over in 1817 as the frm
editor in the modern sense.
Their portraits keep watch
along the editorial corridor of
New. Printing House Square:
dignified, solemn, often hairy
faces, conscious of their power
and heavy responsibilities. The
founding father of the idea of
The Times as an independent
estate of the realm and a con-
science of the world vacated
the editorial chair reluctantly
for the last time a 100 years
ago today.

John Thadeus Delane, who
became editor at the age of
23 and reigned for nearly 40
years, was one of the
patriarchs of modem journa-
lism. His definitions of the
freedom of the press and its
role in the political process are
as relevant today, when they
are under attack from diverse
and surprising quarters, as
when he formulated them.

Delane was not a brilliant
writer himself, except of let-
ters and. what we call memos
today. But he was the personi-
fication of news sense, the best
judge on the shortest delibera-
tion of any matter in band,
decisive, almost always right,
the prince of editors.

Our archive at The Times
contains numerous files of
Delane's papers, and 27 large

voJtanes of iris correspondence
with every leading statesman
of his generation. The matter is
usually high politics, often
political dynamite. To open a
file at random, in 1857 Delane
was writfog to Palmerston in
the period just before the In-
dian Mutiny, giving him the
private information of The
Times about India, which was
evidently a great deal more
accurate than that of the
Government.

A. century ago John Walter
III, chief proprietor and: man-
ager" of The Times, became
concerned " about the -failing
health of his editor and old
friend. He wrote to Delane
asking hi™ how long he could
go on burning -die candle at
both sods, and hinting that he
might want to retire. The
archive contains a draft of
Delane's sad reply, describing
this letter as a sentence of
death.

By the autumn of 1877
Delane was clearly a sick man.
Walter called on him to per-
form what he described as
“ one of the most painful
duties which has ever yet
devolved upon me”: to insist
that Delane retire on a band-
some pension at the end of the
year, and go on sick leave as
soon as practicable. Delane
made his last entry in the edi-
torial diary on November 9,
recording an editorial on the
subject of Mr Gladstone in Ire-

land. His neat writing has
become Tory shaky. On the
next day ihe hand of Thomas
Chenery, his successor, took
over.

The news of his retir eme nt
came is a thunderbolt to the
Victorians. The Queen sent to
inquire after his health, and
recommend, characteristically,
a change from the fogs of Lon-
don to his native Berkshire air.
Lord Beaconsfield wrote, incre-
dulously: “Bur who will iw-
dertake the social part of the
business? Who will -go about in
the world mid do ail that
which Mr Delane did so well,”

That Delane should have left
Printing House Square was as
inconceivable t» his contem-
poraries as that Si Paul’s
should have removed from
London. But the principle of
the independence of the press
that he established and fought
for lived on. and stidl lives,
though always vulnerable. He
expressed it most eloquently in
1852, when The Times was
leading a violent attack in the
name of liberty on the auto-
cracy of Louis Napoleon. The
Prime Minister in the House
of Commons, the Leader of the
Opposition in the House of
Lords, and leading politicians
of all sides severely
reproached The Times for
annoying the French Govern-
ment in the person of Napo-
leon. They said that if the

arrogant proas . warned to exer-
cise the aflueoce of statesmen,
it should also exercise their
responsibility, moderation and
respect for important foreign-

ers.

Delane counterattacked by
having two thunderous leaders
written, asserting unanswera-
bly and unforgettably that the

press has quite different res-
ponsibilities to those of politi-
cians: “We do not interfere
with the duties of statesmen;
our vocation is, in one respect,
inferior to theirs, for we are
unable to wield the power or
represent the collective dignity
of the coun try ; bat in another

point of view it is superior,

for. unlike them, we ere able
to speak the whole truth with-
out fear or favour.”

Delane did not Kve long
after having been separated
from his life's work ana ruling
passion at Printing House
Square. Every year on the
anniversary of his death The
Times soil carries an In
Mem or io m notice ro John T.
Delane, Esq. His definition of
the duty of the press to speak
the whole truth in the puWSc
interest vrithocs fear or favour
needs to he continually remem-
bered, and repeated to states-
men and of ail

sides, who are still seeking to
muzzle it. f

Philip Howard

Count the names and think: every one has died
in the hands of South Africa’s police

So far as I know, there has
been no publication in this
country of the complete list of
those who have died in South
Africa while in the hands of
the police under security Jaws
(ie, excluding those arrested
for real crime), in circum-
stances sufficiently suspicious
to warrant investigation. (To
warrant investigation — but not
to receive it. In almost every
case there has been a blank
refusal to institute any kind of
inquiry.)

One or two of these cases
have become international
causes celebres ; same of them
have been lifted out of the
realm of suspicious circum-
stances into that of undoubted
murder, such as the Muslim
leader, the Imam Huron,
kicked to death by police in
September 19S9, or Ahmed
Timol, thrown from a tenth-
floor window in 1971; and I
discussed yesterday the case of
Mapetla Mohapi. But most of
the victims remain unknown in
the wider world, and many of
them in South Africa itself,
and for the record, therefore, I
propose to list them all now.
The details were compiled by
the South African Institute of
Race Relations.^ a body so scru-
pulous, authoritative and im-
partial that not even Kruger,
the Minister of Justice, has
dared to close it down along
with the 18 organizations he has
banned in the lost few weeks.
The list is complete up to Sep-
tember of this year ; it is too
much ro hope that there will
not be further additions to it
over the years.

1 Looks mart Ngudle, raed

5.9.63. Inquest verdict :

“ Suicide, hanging."

(Incredible though, it may
seem, Ngudle was “ banned "
after his death, by the then
Minister of Justice, now Prime
Minister, J. B. Vorster. The
reason for this macabre action
was that, since nothing may be
published in South Africa about
“ banned ” persons, evidence
given at the then unavoidable
inquest could be suppressed.)

2 Bellington Mampe. Sep-
tember ’63, died 140 days
after his detention. No fur-
ther details given.

Take action now
to provide

School fees

The sooneryou act, the
less it costs (and the more
lhinJy the loud is spread).

C Howard & Partners
are the leading specialists i
School Fee Insurance.

We have helped a

literally thousands of g
parents to provide their x
children with the benefits
of a private education,
without financial stress.

We can tailor plans to {
nil requirements, based
on capital or income
payments; or a mixture of
both. An allocation to help combat Inflation is built into
them all . — '

Consider an example of the combined plan: if your
child is now two years old, a capital payment of £2,500
now followed by an annual payment of £700 should
provide totalfees of£l7j000 (from age 8),in return fora
total net investment oF£12 300. And in addition £8,500 will
be relumed to you in the final year of the plan!

The right plan can transform the financial situation of
parents while their children are atschool-as well as
insuring the fees should the parents die before schooling
is completed.

British fishing:
an industry
heading for
an EEC storm

The hopes held out in London
and Brussels a month or so ago
of a breakthrough in the year-
old negotiations among the
Nine on a new common fisheries
policy have dwindled to vanish-
ing point. Indeed, as far as
the British are concerned, the
latest proposals by the Euro-
pean Com mis sion are in soma

ways even more unsatisfactory

than those they rejected last
tUMIumi)!,

Last' month’s meeting of EEC
agriculture and fisheries minis-
ters, in Luxembourg, which was
at one time optimistically
billed as the “definitive” bar-

The extension
of 200-mile
fishing limits
has made the
reform of the

affirmed Sw*Iw apan^all the CODlIHOn fisheries

S ardes to the dispute still are.

o one now expects a derision

policy absolutely

this year, and in the meantime
pressure is growing in Britain
for unilateral action.

The present fisheries policy,
which was adopted by the EEC
of six members in 1970, is
based on the principle that the
Community’s fishing grounds,
no matter where they are
located, should be equally
accessible to the trawler fleets
of all member states. No policy
on the face of it could be more
unimpeachably “ communau-
tarres”

But that is not how it appears
to the British and the Irish. As
they see it; the 1970 decision —
burned through in anticipation
of enlargement — was designed
mainly to impose on a Com-
munity of nine a podscy which
gave the original six, who had
largely exhausted their own
waters, a potential right of un-
limited access to the fish stocks
of Ireland and Britain.

During their entry negotia-
tions, the newcomers were able
to get some slight modification
of this free-for-oH policy.
Limited national fishing zones
were introduced, ranging from
three to 12 miles off the coast-
fines of most member states.
But these were never intended
co be permanent, and they are
due, as things stand, to be
phased out by the end of 1982.

Moreover, since 1973, rise
general extension throughout
tiie world of 200-mUe fishing
Stmts, beginning with those off
Iceland, has dramatically trans-
formed the situation in which
the EEC finds itself, and has
made the reform of the common
fisheries poMcy, m the British
and Irish view, not merely
desirable but absolutely impera-
tive.

No policy can be equitable,
die British argue, which does
not take account of two crucial
factors ; first, that about 60-per
cent of all the fish caught within
200 miles of the coasts of EEC
member states are caught in
British waters ; and, second,
that Britain has been harder hit
than any of its partners by loss
of fishing in waters that now-
ise within the 200-mile limits of
non-EEC stares.

It is Estimated that over the
past five years the British catch
in distant waters has declined
from 450,000 tonnes to some.
150,000 tonnes, owing to exclu-
sion from Icelandic grounds, the
Barents Sea, the Norwegian sec-
tor of the north-east Arctic and
elsewhere. The waters that now
fall within the 200-mile limits of
other member states offer no
compensation because the
British hardly catch any fish
there.

By contrast, other member
states, some of wbkh, such as
West Germany, have suffered
proportionately even greater
loss of fishing opportunities fo
non-EEC waters, stand to be
compensated substantially- by in-
creased access to fish, stocks
within. 200 miles of British and
Irish coasts, where they have
always taken a large proportion
of ♦betr catch

The. Irish, who have never
had a distant water capacity,
face a different problem. Their
concern is -hat their small, but
fast expanding, inshore fleer
should be guaranteed a suffi-

imperative

cientiy large catch to sustain its
growth. This demand has been
accepted as legitimate by ocher
member states and the Euro-
pean Commission, though they
are Dot agreed about how best
to satisfy it.

Britain began by arguing thdL
its requirements could best be
met by a band of waters round
its coasts, up to 50 miles in
width, which would be largely,
if nor exclusively reserved for
British fishermen. .This was
subsequently modified to a
demand for a totally exclusive
coastal belt of 12 miles, with
a “dominant preference” fur
British fishermen between 12
and 50 miles, which comes to
much cbe same thing.

Neither concept has found
favour with the Commission or
other member states, apart fru>n ■"
the Irish. The Commission be-
lieves that national needs can
be met by an allocation of cairn
quotas weighted in favour of
fishing-dependent regions in
North Britain and elsewhere.

But it is difficult to see how
the Commission's latest pro-
posals, which offer British
fishermen only about 21 per
cent of the total EEC catch in
1978, could possibly be accepted
as fair by any British govern-
ment.

There Is still no agreement
even on the basic approach to
the problem. To begin with, the
Commission does not accept
that the contribution made by
a member state ro the EEC’s .
total fish stocks can be mcos- "
ured in terms of the volume uf
fish caught in its national zone,
and still less that this can be
used as a valid criterion fur
allocating catch quotas. ,

The migratory cycle al most .
species extends aver several
national zones, and therefore, 1
in the words of Mr Finn Olav
Gundelach, the commissioner -
responsible for fisheries, “ nn
individual member states can ■
maintain that a fish stock de- :
pends solely on waters within. -
its sovereignty”.

Aside from this difference
of view, Mr Gundelacu appears. .
to have gone back on earlier ■ -
promises ro offer British fisher-
men reasonable compensation
for die opportunities they have
lost in non-EEC waters. These
losses cannot be calculated, toe-/,
commission now contends, until .
cbe outcome, of negotiations on
reciprocal fishing rights with
countries like the Soviet Union
is known. \ fri

In fact, however, the catch I
share out proposed bv the Com- .
mission for 1978 does mate
assumptions aVout .the- likelv"
fishing possibilities - in third-':.-
country waters' and vice-versa. ..

The truth is that Brussels. hw‘

THE TIMES DIARY/ PHS

The candid lady
who has

become Candida

If it has escaped the notice of
serious theatre-goers that
Deborah Kerr is playing the title
role in Shaw’s Candida at the
Albery in London, it will most
certainly not have escaped the
notice of serious filmgoers.
Like it or not, Miss Kerr is
regarded as a film actress first,
a stage performer second. This
is how it has always been.

But not as it always will be.
The boards have beckoned to
her and she has heeded then-
call. She has not made a film
for six years, and though the
cinema is poorer for her
absence, the theatre has gained
an excellent Candida and, by
all accounts, a Marv Tyrone
(0*NeiU) that Los Angeles will
remember.

“Ironically”, she told me
yesterday, “when I am trying
to shuffle off the film star
image, it is mv old film fans
who are helping to keep
Candida running at the Albery
for five months.”

Miss Kerr is a warm and
level-headed ladv who, to her
eternal credit, has never slotted
into the tinsel world of Holly-
wood and she is iust as sensible
and frank about the films she
has made.

I only wish Eric Braun who
has written her biography
(W. H. Alien, £5.50) had been
as discerning. Even Miss Kerr
herself is somewhat embar-
rassed bv the eugoZistic tide
that flows out of its pages.
Comparisons need not always be
odious. -

ALLOCATION OR CHOICE?

rn now appears unlikely that Mrs
Williams will he allowed parlia-
mentary time this session for her
promised Boll on parents’ rights.
She would like to move quickly
u° f. eco ° s ^^ ute school governing
bodies in order to give statutory
representation to parents,
teachers and local community
interests as well as to 'the local
authorities. And she has recog-
nized the need to clear up the
muddled legal basis for the fairly
exiguous rights which parents
now have in regard to choice of
schools in the maintained school
system.

Parents*- choice of school is an
emotive notion. The Conserva-
tives have gone some way
to make it their own with
their proposed parents’ charter.
Reports of divisions' inside the
Cabinet and in the science and
education sub-committee of the
Labour Party have highlighted
the politics of this issue. To the
left wing, any attempt to
increase parental influence
threatens to reinforce the
privileges of the articulate
middle-class and reintroduce a
form of selection — self-selection
— -just when it seemed the com-
prehensive battle bad been won.
But Mrs Williams is loath to
allow the Tories a monopoly of
concern for parents. Her instinct
is to make closer parental
involvement central to her ideal
of a school system more account-
able to national need and more
resoonsive to local demand.

There are two other reasons
why some action is needed at
this rime, one legal and the other
administrative. One consequence

of lest year’s judgment in the
House of Lords in the Tameside
case has been to cast doubt on
the Department of Education’s
present practice on parental
choice of school. A parent can
appeal to the Secretary of State
if he refuses to accept a local
authority’s decision, or he can
keep his child away from school
and Invite prosecution in order
to name the school of his choice
in the magistrate’s School Atten-
dance Order. In either case, if the
DBS is to intervene . it- has to
be under Section 68 of the 1944
Education Act which empowers
the Secretary of State to issue's
direction to a local authority or
body of voluntary school gover-
nors which is acting unreasonably
— the same section of the Act
which Mr Mulley invoked, unsuc-
cessfully against Tameside. The
DES no. longer believes that it
can go on using Section 68 to
resolve such disputes without be-
ing challenged, and quite reason-
ably wants a clear statement of
the law on the rights of parents
and the powers of the Ministers.

In reality, however, what is at
issue is not the parent’s right to
choose but his limited right to
have his preferences taken into
account alongside those of „ other
parents and other important
practical considerations such as
geography and the efficient use
of resources. Paradoxically, an
attempt co clarify parents’ rights
is likely to limit them : at present
a sufficiently determined parent
can usually get his way even-
tually. Any new scheme is likely
in practice to strengthen the
hands of the administration.

HOSTAGES OF THE POLISARIO

The French left, rhe Socialists
and Communists, came together
yesterday to put brutally on
record tbe motives of the
Polisario Front in seizing thirteen
French nationals who were
working in Mauretania’s segment
of the western Sahara, now sub-
ject to intensified and proficient
raiding. The leftist leaders
declared that France's recog-
nition of the “ Sahrawi Arab
Democratic Republic ’* was
indispensable to secure the
release of these unfortunates
caught in the western Saharan
crossfire.

Classified as “mercenaries”
bv their abductors, they are
plainly held hostage to exact
French recognition of the
Polisario’s state in exile. This
would be regarded as an
unfriendly act by Morocco and
Mauretania which partitioned the
Spanish Sahara instead of allow-
ing the local nomads to decide
their own future. French
recognition would be deplored
by other anti-Marxist African
countries, including Senegal
which provides France with the
base to which French special
troops were sent last week as a
precautionary measure.

The French negotiator, M
Chavet, who has been talking to
to rhe Polisario representatives
in Algiers, has so f3r not secured
their release, in spite of Presi-

dent Giscard’s pressure on Presi-
dent Bourne die nne. The Polisario
cheerfully await new approaches,
and can now consider the fresh
possibilities of their position.
They have material in the reports
that French specialists are work-
ing with Moroccan troops in the
western Sahara, while King
Hassan’s announcement that his
troops will pursue Polisario guer-
rillas into Algeria adds a fresh
complication in dealings with the
French.

If the hostages hear of these
manoeuvres they will hardly be
comforted. With Algerian co-
operation, it will not be hard for
tire Polisario ro keep them hid-
den in such a terrain. Geography
seems to rule our the sort of
action that saved the hostages
at Mogadishu. It took the French
over two years to secure the re-
lease of Mme Claustre when held
by the Chad rebels for a ransom
of arms and supplies. In the end
tbe good offices of Colonel
Gaddafi contributed to her
release, and he has come for-
ward again. He is of course one
of the supporters of the Polisario
cause, which is ultimately backed
by the Russians.

The dispute over tbe western
Sahara is not of the West’s
making. Tbe single case where
a colony did not become a
sovereign state. When Spain
pulled out it was seized and
partitioned on historical claims

VICTIMS OF BUDGET FATIGUE

The test of a man’s objectivity
\i his ability to sympathize with
tax officials about their profes-
sional grievances. So here goes.

The Inland Revenue staff are
asking (or else . . .1 for a £100
rash bonus for performing the
actual operation announced by
the Chancellor of the Exchequer
a fortnight ago of removing a
couple of straws from the camel's
back. The more or less con-
tinuous adjustment of the income

mand management and electoral
fine-tuning (and in place of the
single annual budgetary review
which hud served from Gladstone
until the 1970s) keeps inspectors
uf taxes on rhe go until even
rhnsu assiduous public servants
ure constrained to protest.

•• The staff are saying ‘ Enough
ji enough’”, says Mr Anthony
Christopher, the general secre-
tarv of their union. Their burden,
he adds, must be unique in
Britain fas is the burden borne
by miners, policemen, firemen,
! »o«vr star ion workers, customs
officers, television technicians,
grave diggers, anybody to do with
U-ylands, stately home owners,
provincial repertory companies.

weight lifters 1. As Mr Christo-
pher said three years ago, when
his members were still just short
of the end of their tether,
“ There is a limit to which a
government can muck about with
the tasks the civil servants are
required to do.” And that Emit
is reached when its interference
induces in its officials a condi-
tion known as “ Budget fatigue

It is a distressing complaint.
The only treatment mentioned in
the clinical literature is the
application of £100 cash bonus
with copious draughts of tea.
What has not yet been the
subject of official comment is
That the Inland Revenue Staff
Federation is not the only
population at risk. Tbe incidence
of Budget fatigue is widely
spread throughout the adult
population, male and female. The

(October 31), but 1 would nave been
more grateful -stifi had your staff
reporter given a less garbled ver-
sion uf its contents. Despite the
headline over rhe story, the book
duo nor claim that “ Britain led
the field in women's rights : it
shows that Britain lagged behind
America, Australasia and Scan-
dinavia. Nor does the book assert
that " the suffragette movement wus
the largest in thc world if by

movement was far larger. It is true
that thc militant Ponkliursts had no
rivals elsewhere, but the book is
mainly about constitutional Femin-

paragraphs on the militants. I do
not claim rfiar von Hippel’s book of

I merelv take it as an example.

The impression riven that tne

Prosecution of Mr Helms

From Sir Dougins Dodds-Porker
Sir, May I add my support to Lord
George-Brown's letter (Nowmber 4)
deploring the situation m which
Mr Helms found himself, and for
which he has been punished “by
law’’. This incident stresses once
again the incompatibility of the
separation of powers established by
the all- wise Founding Fathers, with-
out an Official Secrets Act or at
least a workable set of conventions
on unacfcnowJedgeabiiity.

Local authority administrators
-will have a formidable task in
tbe next few years in dealing -
with' a rapidly declining school ..
population. Economy and .effici-
ency will require the closure of
-.some schools and the concentra-
tion of teaching in a smaller
number. The more an authority
is obliged to respect parental
preferences tbe harder it is going
.to be w -carry .out this_ necessary
rationalization^ As chief educa-
tion officers- see it, there could
be a high price, both ha money
and efficiency, to pay for the
retention of an excessive number
of declining secondary schools.
Mrs 'Williams' is well aware of
this and her 'decision to cham-
pion parental choice is sugar On
tiie pill of her pledge to support
local authorities in the matter
of school closures. In practice,
of course, parental preferences
will be an important factor in
deciding which schools should
run down and which survive.

Effective parental choice
depends either on the existence
of a large surplus ' of school
places or on the coincidence of
the individual choices with, the
options available at the time. The
latter , is most improbable, but
the former will be the normal
situation in most cities over tbe
next ten years. It is important to
take' advantage of this, by
sensitive administration no less
than by law, to provide a safety
valve for parental dissatisfaction
and to allow parents tbe oppor-
tunity to vote with their feet in
times of crisis, as the Tyndale
parents did two years ago.

without regard to the views of
the Organization of African
Unity or the United Nations. The
long-standing rivalry between
Morocco and Algeria was
envenomed. The nomad dissen-
tients would probably have
succumbed, however unfairly,
had not Algeria, for material
and ideological reasons, taken up
and armed their cause. The
guerrillas are now keeping the
Moroccans and Mauretanians on
the hop. They may detonate a
fresh armed dash between
Morocco and Algeria. But France
cannot antagonize or abandon
King Hassan. Furthermore, to
pay diplomatic ransom for
hostages would set as bad an
example as yielding to other
lands of blackmail.

■ The conduct of wars by proxy,
and the exploitation of expatriate
hostages, is increasing in Africa.
It remains to be seen if France
can by diplomatic means free
her people. But only in excep-
tional cases can forceful inter-
vention work. Even when it does
it tends ■to antagonize all African
states, and becomes a liability
for future diplomacy. Threats
the African rebuss _ recoil at
home, as; President Giscard may
discover, European govern-
ments do best to warn their
nationals to come out early when
they come to be at risk — and
there were storm warnings in the
Sahara.

officials is explained by tbe fact
that the twelfth in the series of
Mr Healey’s Budgets contained
an antidote effective for the
generality of those exposed to
budgetary infection. It recorded
a just perceptible moderation in
the appetite, with which govern-
ment helps itself to its citizens’
personal incomes.

This ingredient, instead of
inducing fatigue, stimulates the
patient and may even be a cause
of overexcitement in political
cases. But experience warns that
Budgets are more commonly
marked by tbe absence of
this stimulative element. When
normal conditions return after
a general election and Budgets
cause once more that familiar
sinking feeling, taxpayers will
not be so ungrateful as to forget
the clinical trials undergone by
the Inland Revenue staff, their
contribution to the epidemiology
of Budget fatigue, and above all
the treatment which they have
pioneered — cash bonuses all
round. Self-medication may be
tried by means of a deduction
from the sum paid in settlement
of assessed tax liability, though
not all specialists are thought to
recommend it

In 194344 I had the privilege of
commanding an Anglo-American
Special - Operational Unit. My
American colleague and I were
personally instructed by General
Eisenhower to have no secrets from
each other. Yet on occasion I was
admonished by his American Chief
of Staff for breaches of security, by
individuals against whom no action
was possible for lack of an American
Official Secrets Act I pointed our
our dilemma ; no full exchange of
information with certain American
colleagues, or no foil security of
operations.

As long as the executives of the
US Government are refused
adequate protection, by pressure
from the Congress or the press (for
reassess which T can understand hut
rot accept), so long will the US
Administration be handicapped by
having to combat subversion and
disruption, tbe pattern of modern
international conflict, _ without the
mutual confidence enjoyed, m the
British system, between policy-
makers and executives.

I am. ere,

Economic aims of
Eurocommunism

From Mr Hugh Thomas
Sir, Eric Heffer is rijgbt.ro point out
to your readers (article, November
7) tbe importance of Eui oconnitun-
rsm and to the presentation of it
rr»»rfA by Santiago Carrillo. He
wrote on a peculiarly appropriate
day since tbe statements made by
Alex Kitson in Moscow show that,
on the matter of relations with, or
attitudes towards, Russia, die Euro-
communism are showing themselves
more critical, sad much more
reafotic, than the representative of
tbe Labour Party as the celebrations
.marking the 60th anniversary of the
Btotehevik coup d’Mst — a coup d'etat
opposed by the majority of the
Russian people, as the dectibos if
November 25, 1917, showed, a date
whose anniversary may not be cele-
brated wish such gusto in Russia.

Even so, Mr Heffer needs to be
reminded of two things: first, the
only way of judging tbe humanity
of the party concerned cannot be
its attitude to the Soviet Union :
Albania has been at faggerfieads
with Russia for years, but is not a
id example of sweetness and

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Operating a permanent incomes policy In praise of London

Secondly, friends of democracy
should continue to be suspidbus of
any party whose progr amm e while
enthusiastic about political freedom
makes no commitment about eco-
nomic freedom. Sen-or Carrillo in Ins
book envisages a society in which,
ultimately, private enterprise wfll
disappear and be replaced by
M national planning”. In the shore
term, it reams, Senor CarriRo would
only subject large enterprises to
national direction but he suggests
that in the long run all private
enterprise wiB probably vanish. It
may be that represents Mr Heifer's
aim, too, since he n>Jks of phasing
out capitalism by democratic means.
But toe preservation of a multiparty
system, independent trade unions,
and the other things which both Mr
Heffer and Senior Carri! 1 ** say they
like would be inconceivable without
the survival of private enterprise.

Devolution and Quebec

From Mr Wyn Roberts, MP for
Comoay (Conservative)

Sir, Is it not curious to say the least
that while the Federal Government
of Canada is striving to maintain
the unity of that country against
Quebec’s attempt to secure sove-
reign status, the United Kingdom
Government is determined to estab-
lish directly elected assemblies in
Scotland and Wales which could in
due conrse, pursue a similar policy
of independence to thar currently
followed by the Quebec Government
under Premier Levesque?

The Province of Quebec has long
enjoyed a far greater measure of
self-government than that proposed
for Scotland and Wales under the
devolution Bills but clearly, that
large measure of self government
was not enough to satisfy tbe Parti
Quebecm's. Neither will the present
Scotland and Wales Bills long
satisfy the nationalist parties in
those countries as their representa-
tives have already indicated.

Those who argue that the Scot-
land and Wales Bills are the start
of a slippery slope are very likely
to be proved right if the parallel
with Quebec is right, as I fear it is.
If these Bills are passed by Parlia-
ment and implemented after a
referendum, we can expect further
Scottish and Welsh demands and
poss ibly a demand for sovereign
status following smother referendum
organised by the railing party in
Scotland and Wales respectively.
What a rod the British Government
is malting for its own back!

Yours sincerely,

WYN ROBERTS,

Transkei nationals

From Mr Scobie Loblack
Sir, In your issue of November 5
you cany a leading article entitled
“No change for the better” In
this article you state. “ It was Chief
Matanzina’s acceptance of Pretoria’s
condition for independence, that aH
Xbosas were Transbei nationals
whether they wished to be so or
had ever Jived there, that wrecked
whatever claim he could have made
for international recognition". This
statement is quite untrue.

As the Foreign Minister of Tran-
skei, Mr Digby Koyana, made clear
in a recent interview, to use hi*
own words, “There are of course
Xhosas who are settled permanently
in South Africa, coming from Tran-
skei. They are South African citi-
zens and can become Transkeians
only if they so wish. Nobody can
place these people on the Transkei
citizens register against Transkei’s
will. As far as we are concerned,
those who do not want to take out
Transkei citizenship are the respon-
sibility of tbe South African
Government. There is no question
of our accepting South Africa’s
resoonsibiliries for them."

Through no fault of their own
die people of Transkei were incor-
porated in tbe Union of South
Africa by die British Government.
Therefore unlike Botswana, Lesotho,
and Swaziland which were British
Protectorates and were eraored in-
dependence by rhe British Govern-
ment. Transkei had to negotiate its
independence with Hie Government
of South Africa. The Government
of Transkei is totally opposed to
apafibeid nor does it concede that
blacks in South Africa belong to
the 33 per cent of the land area of
the Republic which are designated
as "homelands”.

The Government of Transkei re-
gards die treatment of those of if*
citizens who are working in Somh
Africa as being totally unacceptable
end it is taking up the matter with
the Government of South Africa. Tt
would welcome snoport in thi*
matter from the Governments of
Botswana. Malawi. Lesotho and
Swaziland whose citizen* in South
Africa are similarly badly treated.

Front-Sir Anthony Bowlby and Mr
Jack Lee

Sir, We welcome the letters from
Professor Jaques (October 27) and
Lord Brown (November 2) calling
for a positive long-term wages
policy which will grapple with the
problems of differentials. Industry
is seeching with disconrent and
anger caused by the compression or
el imin ation of differentials tradit-
ionally and justly paid for skill and
responsibility.

Since the summer of 1975, pay
policy has treated differentials
harshly.. The policy was designed
to maintain them in money but to
reduce them in percentage terms
and this is unacceptable in a period
of rapid inflation. In practice they
have been worse eroded; production
workers have commonly enjoyed the
benefit of wage drift in addition to
tiidr planned increases, a benefit
not shared by skilled toolroom and
maintenance men or by supervisor*.

We would suggest:

(1) Responsibility for running a
positive incomes policy should be
shared between the Government,
CBI and TUC.

(2) There should be a permanent
institution to monitor the applica-
tion of die policy and to carry out
inquiries.

(3) There should be synchroniza-
tion of negotiations of wages in the
different industrial sectors. This
should permit integration with the
Chancellor’s tax proposals.

(43 Negotiation of wages and
salaries should be conducted in
three stages, viz:

Stage 1. Government, TUC and
CBI would meet annually ro decide
tbe scope for wage and salary
increase.

Stage 2. Tbe three parries would
decide how the share available for
wages and salaries should be distri-
buted.

Stage 3. Each bargaining unit
would be free to determine how the
package resulting from .Stage 2
should be distributed within the
bargaining unit.

In Stage 2 the three parties would
consider claims for the special
treatment of particular industries.
In Stage 3 employers and unions,
when negotiating tie distribution of
the agreed amount, would take
account of the need for acceptable
differentials.

Yoors faithfully,

ANTHONY BOWLBY.

November 7.

From Sir Malby S. Crofton
Sir. It is not often that I disagree
with your columnist, George
Hutchinson, but I do not share his
view (November 51 that, if Mr
Callaghan had to call an election
because of a confrontation with the
miners, this would lead to a victory
for the present Government.

If those circumstances did arise,
then I think it would be incumbent
upon the Conservative Party during
thc election campaign to make a
radical alteration in their present
approach to the whole trade union

' problem. It would be necessary for
us to mate it dear th at our party
could not accept a situation in
which a single trade union ivus able
to precipitate two general elections
in three years: and that, if we won,
we would - return at once to the
question of fundamental trade union
reform. That reform would then bo
put, before legislation mas enacred.
to die people of the couno-y in a
form of a referendum.

f am not suggesting tli<u our
party should return to the sterile
and legalistic Industrial Relations
Act of far from blessed memory. T
propose that the present monopoly
power of the trade unions should
be reduced by structural reform
fMr Benn’s favourite phrase), ie, by

devolution to statutory works

council*

I believe that the only wav in
which we shall solve the eternal
conflict in our economy is by
recognizing that the big trade
unions have become Fundamental
obstacles ro economic progress. It is
totally absurd that at a time when
there are 1.700,000 people unem-
ployed there should be shortages
over wide sectors of industry of
skilled men. This is due 'to two
things: first, restrictive practices by
the unions ; second, die narrowing
of pav differentials as a result of
TUC-dictated pay policies. It is also
absurd that national strikes should
be repeatedly called over local and
often trivial disputes. Tbe whole
ethos of the closed shop is unaccept-
able in a democratic society.

Statutory works councils would. T
believe, go a long way to get round
these difficulties. Such councils
would consist of employees elected
by postal ballot. I see no reason
why they should not be the agents
for profit sharing. To them would
be devolved wage bargaining ar
plant level and most of the other
functions at present carried out by
the trade unions. Such works
councils would have to work in close
cooperation with the management.
They would be entitled to receive a
great deal, though not necessarily
all, of the companies' confidential
information. Profit sharing on a
Inrated scale would bridge the
oppositional divide between worker
and shareholder. As the works
councils, elected by secret vote of
all employees, would be responsible
for pay and conditions bargaining,
there would be no need for a closed
shop.

In this way, we would, achieve a
major devolution of power from
the national unions towards the
actual places of work. I believe
that, as a result, strikes called on
a national scale would become
much rarer ; and fundamental
differences (often regional) within
the big unions such as are now
apparent amongst the miners, the
engineers and maov others would
be able to express themselves in a
democratic wav.

Union discipline

From Mr R- W. Goodman
Sir, Mr Reginald Msudling (letter.
November 7) questions how rhe
unions and. by _ inference, the
country can exercise control over
the renegade members of unions
who cake disruptive action, against
the advice of their elected union
and parliamentary representative
bodies.

I would suggest That rhe answer
is reasonably simple, at least in
principle, although rhe implemen-
tation would, obviously, be more
complicated. To men nf perspective
and good will, however, it would
not be impossible.

It is accepted that a man has a
right, under existing law. to termi-
nate his employment by complying
wirii the statutory requirements, ie,
giving his emp I oyer sufficient notice
of his intention. This procedure has
never been regarded as contentious,
by any side of industry or commerce.

If, by dint of a legal change,
notice of, or .resort ro, unofficial
disruptive action could be legally
equated with notice ro terminate
employment, the individuals con-
cerned would have need to think
about a voluntary cwrre of action
that results in self-inflicted un-
employment.

This would not affect a man's
right to avoid conditions he finds
unacceptable, and would leave bini
free to seek the conditions he
reoifires. Similarly, the employer
would hove a period within which
to change the conditions and There-

by retain the services of rhe wor-
kers. if he so wishes ; or, if unable
to. do this, find reple-cement staFf
for those workers who have de-
clared their intention of leaving.

Official union action, redundancy
payments, ere, would nor be affected
and, by accepting bis worker's
formal notice of intention, the em-
ployer could noc be accused of
instigating a " lock out

I wonder whether die main par-
ties concerned, ie. unions, em-
ployers, Parliament and judiciary
would rind it possible ro. come to-
gether and introduce this supple-
ment to the existing law and thereby
remove one area of vaguene>s ui the
field of industrial relations and
responsibilities.

From Mr Ronald E. Rushcn
Sir, Mr Maudling (November 7) asks
how unions can impose effective dis-
cipline on members abandoning rhe
proper negotiating channels. The
answer, surely, is by withdrawing
their union cards — a move likely to
be just as acceptable to the vast
majority of workers who keep the
rules as it would be beneficial to
industrial peace.

The Zinoviev Letter

From Mr R. Page Amot and Mr
Andrew Roihsiein
Sir, We refer to the letter from
Mr T. R- Crawford (October 29)
about the so-called Zinoviev Letter,
as well as to the previous letters
on tin's subject from Dr Christopher
Andrew. Miss Sybil Eyre Crowe and

Mr Robert WooUcombe. Both of
us were members of the Central.
Committee of the Communist Party
when that forgery was launched
during die 1924 General Election.
There were 20 members of the
Central Committee, with two sub-
stitutes and three representatives
o£ other organizations— nnt 12, as
the- person who was allegedly pro-
duced to the Labour Party dele-
gation as “ Head of the Secret
Service ” asserted. The true figures
had already been published long
before in the report of our 1924
Congress.

At no time was the alleged letter
presented to or 'discussed by the
Central Committee or its com-
mittees. Had it ever been laid
before us, it would have met with
ridicule for the numerous evidences
which it contained of gross forgery
by persons obviously familiar with
Russian but not English termin-
ology; as well as for its references
to non-existent “ military cells " and
an unagmafy “ Military Section
and its general parodying of
Communist language.

Only political i-Uiteraies in inter-
national matters, such as abounded
at that time in tbe upper reaches
of the larger political parties, or
unscrupulous conspirators, here and
abroad, such as those who had
already, rhree years before, pro-

duced the forged Pravda. could have
believed — or affected ro believe —
chat ehe so-called letter was genuine.
In this respect we agree with the
exposure made in their book by
Messrs Chester, Fay and Young.

Each of us was sufficiently
familiar with the office machinery
and routine of the Communist
International headquarters to be
able to confirm that die dismissal
of the document as a forgery by the
British Trades Union Delegation to
Russia in 1924, after careful exam-
ination of files and secret letter-
register s~by a deputation incident-
ally which included amongst its
“advisory delegates' 1 former mem-
bers of Admiralty Intelligence who
knew Russian well, one knowing
German also— was entirely justified.
The delegation's report was en-
dorsed by the General Council and
accepted by the Scarborough TUC
in September 1925.

Moreover, as. our colleague the
kite J. R. Campbell had pointed out
when reporting on the matter to nur
seventh Part? Congress in May
1925, our party “ not only took the
straight kite of denouncing this
letter — a forgery which was as
stupid as it was lying”, but also
had ever since itself been demand-
ing an inquiry by the kibour move-
ment as to its origin. And in fact,
the Labour Party committee men-
tioned by Mr Crawford, so far from
being “ convinced “ as he says
Thomas Johnston (not “Johnson”)
told him, reported on the contrary
char it had been unable tn find any
proof of its authenticity.

Mapping burred hisforv

From Prufcssor Ralph B. Pugh
Sir, Dr Margaret Ceiling's letter
(November 51 in which she draws
attention to the exclusion of long
established place names from Ord-
nance Survey maps is most wel-
come. Others have a kindred griev-
ance ; it is rfrit in rheir mops the
Survey alter the form or spelling
of place names that they them-
selves have long employed. This
done, rhev say, because local cus-
tom recommends a change and their
policy is to respond to loc: 1 ! custom.
Tims Little Hinton. Wiltshire, whirh
was so named in OS maps through-
out the nineteenth and earlier
twentieth century, appears in the
19S0 6-inch survev and subse-
quently as Hinton Parra. If there
■were more space, other examp'es
could easfiv be siren of the addi-
tion or subtraction of suffixes cu*
rhe conversion nf such words as
“ Louver " into “ Neiher

To the contention that such
changes conform to local custom
there are at least two objection*.
First, local cusrom canuot be ascer-
tained unless there is a house to
house census. So far as is known,
no such enquiry ha« ever been
undertaken. Even if it were,
nothing armroachina unanim i »v
■would be likolv to result. Second 'y.
it by no means follows thru Uv- 1
custom should prevail over national
and, indeed, international ci'* trk m,
As Dr Gelling real ire*. scHo’ts
need to know where Ipriey is *. they
are ea rally entitled t-o be able to
local Little Hinton. If such ploces
are given new names on OS maps,
how cam they do so ?

When rhe Survev began its work
nearly two centuries ago. there
was no national spelling standard
for plnce names and recourse h^d
ro be bad ro local as well, no doubt,
as to other opinion. Over the years,
however, the Survey has <te facto

A collection of Pacific north-
west -coast and Eskimo primitive
art formed by Mr Roy G. Cole, of
Hamilton, Ontario, brought a
knock-down total of £172,015 ax
Sotheby’s yesterday, with 30 per
cent unsold. The collection had
been formed between 1937 and
1975, but many of the important
pieces bad been acquired recently.

A large and colourful Kwakinti
wood and fibre raven mask, a
ritual dance mask associated with
the cannibal spirit, went to a
Dutch private collector for £15,000
(estimate £12.000 to £15,000). A
slightly smaller version of the
raven mask, however, was unsold
at £8,000 (estimate £10,000 to
£12.000).

A Haida wood chiefs chair,-
elaborately carved and painted
with bear masks, raven heads and
totenric motifs. - formerly in the
Pitt-Rivers collection, made
£10,000 (estimate £6.000 to £8.000),
to Mace Neufeld, a Los Angeles
dealer.

Howard Ricketts paid £6.200
(estimate £5,000 to £7,000) for a
Pacific north-west coast wood
totem carved with a frog between
the leg* of a wolf. Minor Items
sold well.

Christie's offered a more routine
selection of tribal art for sale but
also had difficulty finding buyers ;
the sale totalled £66,377 with 27
per cent unsold. The top price
in the sale was 0,200 (estimate
£1,2 00 to £2,0001 for an Asbanti
gold soul-washer’s badge ; it is in
the shape of a. cross within a circle
and measures 3! Inches across.

History always enhances the

value of tribal art : the piece was
collected from the bedroom of
Asantehene Kofi "Karikari on Feb-
ruary 4. 1874, by an English army
officer. Lieutenant R- C. Annesley.
and sold yesterday by his grand-
son.

A more gruesome memento was
the Madri preserved human head,
finely tattooed, nine laches high,
which was sold for £2^00 (esti-
mate £1,000 to £2,000).

man who needs to stand m
front of an audience and talk
directly to it.

Written down and traos-
mined in mere print, Ted Ray's
material was rarely more than
good-humouredly cheerful. He
was, he liked us to believe,

simply a man who enjoyed see-
ing the funny side of life, the
pub humourist relaxing with his
friends, so to speak. Even the
violin, which he could play
though he often did not borher
to do so. was not allowed lo
create a difference between him
and the average man he liked
to impersonate.

Tbe corniest of stories and
the most elementary of puns
were delivered with a zest de-
signed to persuade any audience
chat he found them entranc-
inglv wittv, and under the in-
fluence at his clever timing,
we were persuaded to laugh at
him for doing so. He made
it his business to be funnier as
a personality than anything he
told us. He set out to repre-
sent us, but at a stage of in-
vincible good-humoured cheer-
fulness we rarely attain how-
ever ardently we try to do so.
.His death puts a lovable and
honoured tradition at risk.

Ted Ray was seriously
injured in a car accident in
1975 and, though he appeared
in public recently, had been
back in hospital ert more than
one occasion.

He married, in 1933, Dorothy
Sybil Stevens. They had two
sons, one of wham is Andrew
Rav, the . actor, and the other,
Robin Rav. the wellknown pro-
ducer of BBC programmes and
a regular contestant on the
BBC programme Face the
Music.

Tbe born music-hall comic,

seems to suffer . from the
absence of an audience ; Ray
seemed always able to make
contact -with smalt scattered
groups of television viewers

not scattered about the world

had an almost blatant direct-

Announcing the latest test

lo.vsr London Education Author-
itv. Sir Ashley Bran) a LI. leader of

national average figure itself rep-
ramnis a higher standard, tiian
fjrmcriy. so that Inner London’s

performance was even better than
it appeared at first sight. "

It Is an outstanding achieve-
ment for an inner -ctry area with
all its problems-- of deprivation,
movement erf population and,
until recently, a highly damaging
turnover of teachers ”, Sir Ashley
said. He was he ar tened by tbe
buoyant morale throughout tbe
authority's schools. -
Inner London.s verbal reasoning
scores, as measured by tests de-
vised bv the National Foundation
for Educational Research, were
99.9 last year, compared with the
national average of 100. The pre-
vious year it was 98.4 ; the lowest
score, 94, was in 1969.

By Philip Howard
In spite of protests from purists
that they arc a Latin plural,
** data ” persists in trying to be-
come an English singular, as
agenda and stamina did before it.

In a characteristically entertain-
ing and persuasive lecture yester-
day, Professor Randolph Quirk
gave an explanation of why data
is not what they used to be.

He began by pointing out that
the division between singular and
plural is not as clear-cut as it
seems. It forces us to choose
between one (car, pound, colour,
and so on) and anything from
two to infinity, which are lumped
together as plural. At the same
time, if an entity is uncountable
(like butter), or consists or par-
ticles that wc do not choose to
count (like rice), grammar requires

us tu treat such things as
singular.

On the other hand, many quite
singular objects like scissors and
trousers are obligatory plurals-
Yet why should a bra be singular,
or a conn vrith its two sides, or
a shirt with its two sleeves, if
bathfog-truaks " are ” plural ?

Professor Quirk pointed out
that the material or evidence that
Is assembled on an ever-increas-
ing scale and subjected to com-
puter processing consists ot dis-
crete singular items but wavers
linguistically between singular and
plural when collected.

The world “ data ” is a key in-
stance. Is it ignorance of Latin
that causes ns to say ” This data
is valuable ” ; or our bad con-
science over its Latin plurality
that may prompt us to moke

amends with “ These data are
valuable ’’ ?

Professor Quirk suggested that
the reason Cor our vacillation is
the emergence of a new type of
*' aggregate ” noun, capable of be-
ing counted, like sheep, yet in-,
susceptible of precise enumeration.
We do not talk about three data
or 204 data, or about isolating one
datum' from the data. Above all,
the word is used as a. singular
since it is merely the aggregates
of data, considered as an indis-
tinct mass like butter, that influ-
ence decision-making.

Does this nastily illustrate the
further relegation of the indi-
vidual is this the direction of
English 1990 ? Professor" Quirk
gave no firm answers, bat hls'date
was/ were stimulating.

Medicine : Oestrogen dose in pills

A preliminary analysis of the bio-
chemical effects of different kinds
of contraceptive pill Ins suggested
how side-effects may vary accord-
ing to the content and dosage of
the different preparations. Dr T.
W. Meade and his colleagues at
North wick Hark Hospital have
compared the effects of pills con-
tainlng either 30 or 50 micro*
grams of oestrogen, and two dif-
ferent kinds of progestogen.- on
the blood pressure and ■ blood
chemistry of a small sample of
women. . They find .that,, while
some pills have a greater effect
on blood pressure, others have
a greater effect, on factors in the
blood chemistry that are likely to
be associated with thrombosis-
Contraceptive pills are made of
a mixture of oestrogen and pro-
gestogen, and it Is the oestrogen
that seems to be responsible for
the thromboembolic side-effects

that are the main hazard for pili-
takers over ttu: age nf 30. Although
it is not known exactly bow
changes in blood chemistry are
related to (Ac risk of thrombo-
embolic disease. It is not unreason-
able to suppose that an increase in
blood factors associated with dot-
ting. is Bkely to encourage throm-
bosis.

All of 76 women taking contra-

ceptive pil(s proved to have higher'
levels of cloning factors In their
Mood than 243 women who were
not taking the pill. But tbe effect
was significantly more pronounced
in the 63 women taking ptlls coa-
rt ini ng 50 micrograms of oestro-
gen than in the 15 taking pals con-
tnimag only 30 micrograms.- ,
There were other differences,
jimbuiable to different forms of-
progestogen used in the pills.
While one kind,- norethisteronc,
seems to have effects similar to
uiteirugen (thus enhancing the

blood chemistry changes), the
other, d-oorgestrd, seem* to
cause, an increase in . blood- pres-
sure.

From such a small number of
women no hard and- fast conclu-
sions can be dawn, and doctors
and denies are already prescribing
lower-dose rather than higher-dose
pills on the assumption that lower
doses lead to fewer side-effects.
But until a large number -of women
taking the rdatirdy receat lower-
dose pills have been monitored
for a number of years ft will be
impossible to tell exactly how
much difference oestrogen dosage
will make to the risk of -throm-'
hosts. • '

Miss Eva Trendtard, a mem-
ber, .of the Royal Air Forces
Escaping Society, died at Aber-
corn House, Camber ley, Surrey,
on November 2 at tbe age of
92. During the Second World
War Miss Trench ard ran a
small “ Scotch Tea Shop ” in
Monte Carlo as. a cover. From
here she . sheltered 24 Allied
aircrew who had been ’ shot
down and were on the run from '
the Germans. Most of her
,** Boys ”, as she called them,
were passed on to' her' by the
Pat O’Leary Escape line until
this was broken by the Gestapo
in 1942. M!iss Treocbard was
commended for her bravery by
General Eisenhower, Air . Mar-
shal Tedder and the French
Government.

In spite of her years Miss
Trenchard 'maintained a great
interest in the escaping society,
which had at one time found
her a flat and was instrumental

In placing - her in Abercoro
Houses where she was well

From Frank Vo*I ;

Wgitfiinetoa, Nov 8

America is smousiy consider-
ins adopting a “reference
price system for determining
whether- foreign steel ship-
ments to the United States are
being priced fairly, according
to a .Treasury spokesman.

Adoption of soch a system
could possibly result in the
United States forcing European
steel manufacturers in particu-
lar sharply to raise their Ameri-
can selling prices and so,
inevitably, lead to a significant
reduction ~ in European steel
sales in the United States.

The spokesman stressed that
this system is a major option
that we are examining ’* and'
that no decision had yet been
made on whether to implement
it. Setting the “reference
price” would involve detailed
consultations with foreign gov-
ernments and steel manufactur-
ers.' the spokesman added.

Sixteen specific complaints
have oeen received by the
Treasury from American steel
manufacturers charging that
foreign producers are selling
rheir products here below cost
and that they are therefore
violating anti-dumping laws.

Five members oE a House
wavs and means subcommittee
reviewing enforcement of anti-
dumping laws have filed a
petition with the Treasury
charging dumping by the
British Steel Corporation.

The “reference price” sys-
tem would seek to prevent
further dumping in a swift and
direct manner. It would be
based on American calculations
of foreign steel manufacturing
costs, plus transport costs. The
figure arrived at would then
serve as the base “reference”
level and foreign manufac-
turers charging lower prices
would be faced with & levy that'
would take their price up to at
least the “reference price”.

This ' complicated system
would almost certainly involve
some subjective decisions by
the American authorities over
what are fair prices for foreign
sceeZ.

.The promised consultations
with foreign governments would
- almost certainly .produce diffi-
culties as Britain, for example,
would probably dispute the pro-
duction cost estimates for the
British Steel Corporation.

Adoption of such a “refer-
ence price” system is now
being considered by Mr
Anthony Solomon, the Under
Secretary for Monetary Affairs
at the Treasury, who is bead-
ing • a special task force to
examine - the problems of the
American steel industry.

- The Treasury spokesman said
that Mr Solomon’s report was
likely to be presented to the
White House “economic policy
group” within two weeks and
that this body would s"b*mt
formal recommendations to
President Carter by the end of
tins month.

Mr Wilhelm Haferkamof, the
vice-president of the. European
Commission, said here after
meetings with top Washington
officials, that the United States
Government had. not yet settled
a plan or set of proposals for
dealing with “the steel crisis”.

He said of the “reference
price” idea that he would not
exclude any proposal, including
one deeding with prices in the
joint discussions “It is too
early stiH to talk about tech-
nicalities

It seems possible -that the
“ reference price * concept will
be adopted. ' If it -is the
Treasury would then have to
work out prices fac each
foreign steel product sold here
and it would charge levies on
those products now selling at
below the set level. The levies
would remain until a decision
on -whether the foreign steel
prices constituted dumping.

By "Caroline Atkinson

Sterling soared by more than
two cents to jus* under $1.83 in
a few minutes of hectic trading
yesterday afternoon. . on the
news of a report in an Arab
publication published in -Paris,
that Saudi Arabians will
shortly ask for part of their oil
payments to be made in sterling
instead of dollars.

The Story, in AnJfoJutr Arab
Report, suggested that the
Saudis had already approached
the British Government for its
reactions bat. official .sources in
London denied all knowledge of
such an approach.

The porod rose- on the first
news of the report, which came
after the dose of trading in
Europe. It dosed up 2.55 cents
on the day at 51.8235 m London.
However- in after hboxe trad-
the fate slipped bade, to
?f $1.82 as the ‘ markets
heard of the official British de-
nied.

Rumours that merobers of the
Organization of Petroleum
Exporting Countries are going
to react to the. recent weakness
of - the dollar with some move
to protect their revenues have
been rife for some time. .

These have previously centred
on the possSnfity of an oil price
denominated in Special Drawing
Rights.

It was not dear from the
resort whether tbe Saudis were
-thinking of fixing a sterling
price- for 'some of' their oil, or
of requiring initial payment in
sterling.

If the latter, it would be a
reversion to the situation before
1975 when sterling was used
for some oil payments.

Frank Vogl writes from Wash-
ington: Top American oil com-
pany officials said they had not
been informed by their bankers
.or by their middle eastern con-
tacts of any Diana . by
any of the major ofl-produdne
countries to start- taking sterl-
ing in payment for ofi.

Skytrain profit of
£284,000 in six weeks

The Laker cheap-fare Sky-
train service to New York made
a net profit in its first six
weeks of £284,000. Up to
November 7, the airline’s daily
DC-10 345-seat aircraft have
operated with an average of 82

Mr Freddie Laker announced
the figures yesterdav when he
opened a Sfartrain^ ticket office
at London's Victoria Station.

Vehicle output down
in October

The British motor industry
produced 105,000 cars during
October, according to provi-
sional figures from the Depart-
ment of Industry. This
represented a sharp decrease on
the high levels of production in
October last year when 141.000
vehicles were produced. -Com-
mercial vehide production was
32,700 compared with 39,300 last

Price inflation index
at four-year low

By Derek Harris

The drop in the rate of price
rises, accentuated in September,
was maintained last month.

According to- the latest Price
Commission index, out yester-
day— -the index acts as an early
warning on price mov ements , .
usually reflected in tbe shops
in abbut three months\tnne—
the provisional October figures
indicate an annual inflation rate
for prices in the commission’s
field of 73 per cent
. It was the lowest figure since
September, 1973, and compares
with a September figure of 7.8
per cent and one for August of
12.7 per cent

There has been a progressive
reduction from the high March
figure’ of nearly 21 per cent
But a warning note on the
future of price increases, par-
ticularly the effect of high pay
settlements, wa§ sounded by Mr.
Charley Williams, the commis-
sion’s chairman.

“It is most encouraging that-
we are getting far fewer price
notifications and. we seem to.be.
moving into a period .of greater
price stability." he commented.

‘ How long this stability will
last depends on. .many .factors
that are difficult to . forecast.
The level of pay settlements
will be very important, particul-
arly if manufacturers, seek to.
pass on increased wage costs in
increased prices,”

There is also- still -some, corv .
cern in Whitehall that the
decline in the com m is s io n ’s
index, based on the .prenotifica-
tion of price rises by hig com-
panies, could to an extent mask
a pent-up price d emand .

Some manufacturers may
have postponed implementing
increases until the new price
controls. which took effect
from August are clearer.

In three months- since ti>e b®"
ginning of August the commis-
sion has received only about- 55g_

price notifications, an average
of fewer than 220 a month corn-
ed with the 580 a month
the previous seven

months.

On the other hand the whole-
sale price index earlier das
week showed an October drop
of 1 per cent in tbe purchase
price of manufacturing indus-
try?* raw materials and fuels —
a decline for the sixth month
running.

The commission’s index does
not equate exactly with the
Retail Price Index (RPI), which
covers a greater variety of goods
and services. .

But the commission index has.
proved a rsLable indicator of
the trend • of price rises,
ahhougdi the lag between pre-
notification of rises and their
implementation means a gap of
at least three months before the
trend shows up in the R PL
Hugh Clayton writes : Inflation
'in processed foods should soon'
decelerate, the Institute of
Grocery Distribution said in its
latest Economic Bulletin yester-
day. Raw materials, accounted
far almost two thirds of costs
so that the cuts in input prices
enjoyed by the rest o£ manu-
facturing industry had been
delayed for food.

“ There are encouraging signs
of near' record harvests for
-many United Kingdom crops,

• espeaafiy cereals and potatoes ”,
the institute said. “Tins should
greatly assist later raw material

■ prices- -and already it is pre-
dicted that frozen chips could
fall by 25 per cent shortly."

The rrfte of increase in wage
costs; the second most im p ort an t
cost in food processing, had

■ dropped below 10 per cent for
the first time in six years, the
institution printed out. Tbe
comparable figure in. die spring
of 1975 was 30 per cent

The bulletin reflects tbe fear
of food traders that they may
be bypassed in any growth of

International Chamber will deleldtiraft code to outlaw bribery

oppose joint
measures on corruption

action

fly Maioblin Brown •

A major. row is brewing oyer a contro-
versial’ jnttiarive to fight -

cofTupctnnTn business.

The- council of the 54-cation Inter-
norinwid Chamber of Cocungrce will meet
m Peris on Ifavember 29 to discuss the
fioaj version, of a report drawn up by an
ICC-oppouried oosmaurion of eminent
figures: set up In lace 1975 to investigate
the exterR uf corruption hi baseness and
suggest how h might be combated.

The rononfesaou included Lord Show-
cross, Mr , Jean Rey, farmer president of
the Erx-opean- Economic Commission, and
Shaikh V artan i, Saadi Arabians petroleum
minister.

It proposed .an- international code on
bribery end extortion and . the establish-
ment of a top-Iiev«a council to Oversee and
implement the cade. ■

A key recommendation is isrderstood to
be that the council would be able to
examine infringements of the code only
with the permission of the accused parties.

But in a controversial move toe com-
mission is befieved to have included a

provision which would give the council
powers to same organizations denounced
m it as having given bribes if the organi-
sation refused to. appear before it

This would -be done only where the
cwtadl beSeved ' there was a strong case
to be answered and judged that the public
interest would be best served by publish-
ing tbe names of those involved and tbe
alleged transgressions •

These mid other proposals wiH be
backed by Britain and the United States,
but there is Hkely to be strong criticism
from West Germany, France and Belgium.

These three countries have already
made it dear that they oppose draconian
measures by the ICC, and have been
rastrumental in watering down earlier
versions of the recommendations, to the
extent T b * ? several members of the com*
mission now believe that there bos been
an organized campaign to inxbenmne the
whole initiative.

France’s representatives at the ICC, in
particular, are said to have made it dear
from the start that they thought corruption
was a matter far governments to tight,
and that a supra-national body of the type

envisaged by the commission could lead
to a dangerous situation in which ons
company might, for malicious reasons,
accuse another of giving bribes.

The coda's opponents take the view that
the ICC should not ser itself up in judg-
ment on such matters and should restrict
itself only to issuing guidelines.

The commission put an early draft of
Its proposals before a large meeting cf
ICC members in Versailles in June. Its'
members feel that at that meeting and
subsequently they made a number of
major concessions in an attempt to accom-
modate their critics. But they are deter-
mined not to be associated with a toothless
code, and will be pressing their supporters
to stand firm at the November 29 meeting.

Tbe code would outlaw bribes and kick-
backs. Organizations, which would submit
to the code on a voluntary basis, would
be expected to police their own trans-
actions and undertake not to maintain any
undisclosed accounts.

Organizations would also keep records or
intermediaries used by them ro deal with

S ublic bodies, and these records would
ave to be open to government inspection.

Shares rally
on improved
pay outlook

By David Mott

Shore prices made their first
substantial raBy for more than
a fortnight on the' London stock
market yesterday with the FT
index- . dosing 11.8 ahead at
492L2, its best level of the day.

Government determination to
resist the more extravagant pay
claims and the favourable turn
of events in the power workers*
dispute inspired a cautious re-
turn to the market by investors,
even though many of the big-
gest gains were helped by the
doting of “bear” positions.

Rumours late in the day that
the Arab oil producers wanted
royalty payments in a currency,
other than the dotier gave a lift
to sterling and, in turn, long-
dated gilts, . adding another
quarter point to earlier gains
which bad stretched to £1. It
was also a factor in sustaining
tbe str en g t h of equities.

Though the rally in equities
was overdue, if only for tech-
nical reasons, dealers wore say-
ing lost nisbr they did hot ex-
pect it to continue for long and
wotild be looking far a more
two-way trade over the next few
days. ,

Not the I east factor in their
reasoning us a clutch of results
from - leading indstrial com-
panies which are due in the
next couple of weeks, three, of
them being in the 30-share
index. This prospect, they
argued is bound -to bring a
cautious approach to die “ blue
chips ”, at least until tbe results
are out.

Tbe companies concerned are
Beechom, Unilever, Courtaulds
and ICI and for the last two. at
least, there has been some
caution in the market recently.

Looking to tbe longer term,
the key to progress Bes with

The market remains ex-
tremely sensitive to any major
breach of the Government’s 10

Money stock growth

Fears that the money supply
might have been growing even

Even so, growth could .well

adjustments, particularly far die
increase in overseas residents’
deposits.

These adjustments should
make for a rather smaller in-
crease in the sterling M3 par-
ticularly as the seasonal adjust-
ment, which was sharply up-
wards in October last year,
appears unlikely to be more
than marginal this time.

Even though the rise in
sterling M3 may turn out to be
rather less explosive thus some
bed been fearing, it still seems
clear that the size of the inflows
across the exchanges before the
Government opted to let sterl-
ing float were building up into
a formidable problem.

For though the rise in elig-
ible liabilities was rather Jess
in October than it had been
in September, this was only
after substantially higher sales
of government debt.

The London clearing banks
estimate that a good part of a
£2B2m net rise in United King-
dom residents’ sterling deposits
last month reflected, in ODe
way or another, tbe inflow of
money across the exchanges.

In total, the London clearing
banks’ sterling deposits rose by
£611m in the four weeks to
£3 3, 801m. Within this total
there was a rise of £679m in
sight deposits, reflecting strong
growth in current accounts and
an increase in borrowing from
the money markets.

By contrast, time deposits
fell by £69 m in spite of certifi-
cate of deposit issues of £127m.

Ibis suggests that there was
a considerable outflow of small
deposits from the banks, prob-
ably to tbe building societies
or National Savings.

Tbe clearing banks’ leading to
the private sector picked up
again over the month, straight
lending rising by £159m for
some £2 00 m seasonally

£60m.

Hitachi puts in offer to purchase
MuUard colour television tubes

By Our Commercial Editor

Hitachi has made a formal
-offer to buy colour televition
tubes from MuUard, tbe Philips
subsidiary, which is Britain’s
sole remaining colour tube
maker.'

This follows a favourable con-
clusion to an assessment by
Hitachi technical experts on
‘marrying the MuUard tube with
the Hitachi set chassis. .

There had been considerable
scepticism in the British elec-
tronic components industry
generally, as well as at MuUard
itself, -that the Japanese elec-
tronics group would be prepared
to make an agreement to buy
British tubes.

It was feh that Hitachi would
wanr to take at least a propor-
tion of tubes from the Finnish
factory in which it has a
minority stake.

The offer, to MuUard would

involve a third of the first
year’s production of 75.000 sets
nianned for tbe controversial
Hitachi television set making
factory at Washington new
town, near Newcastle upon
Tyne.

The plan is to take 20.000
26-inch tubes and 5,000 22-inch
tubes, all of them of the ultra-
compact 110 degree design.

A substantial number of these
100 degree-tubed sets would be
expected by Hitachi to go for
export elsewhere in Europe
where this type of tube, al-
though more expensive overall,
is more popular.

If the deal came off it would
mean Hitachi would reach a
figure of 50 per cent British
sourcing of components -for its
.Uni red Kingdom production,
rather than the 40 per cent it
has so Far been able to promise
tbe Government.

. While the offer appears to

strengthen Hitachi's case with
the Government, MuUard has
been inclining to the view that
an Hitachi order is unlikely to
give them a net gain, in sales
because in a saturated retail
market it would probably be at
tbe expense of some orders
from other set makers.

The main issue is still
whether the establishment of
an Hitachi factory would result
in a net adverse effect on em-
ployment as British set makers,
through increased competitive
pressures, turned more to im-
ported tubes at the, expense of
MuUard.

. To allow time for further dis-
cussions, particularly over con-
sequential redundancies threat-
ened if Hitachi established a
British factory, the Department
of Industry has delayed a deci-
sion on whether to give a go-
ahead for the Washington
factory.

Brussels, Nov 8. — The Euro-
pean Community and Hongkong
todgy suspended negotiations
on a bflaoerol eeattfie agreement
without setting a dote far re-
sumption of ihe talks.

Hongkong previously termed
the Community’s proposals for
reducing the Crown colony’s
textile exports to tire Com-
munity as “ unreasonable” and
“ cocatty unacceptable

Hongkong’s counter-proposals

drafted fast week were equally
unacceptable to Brussels, a

CoeRmutiZy spokesman said.

The decision to suspend the
talks cause after Hongkong de-
clared its counter-proposal as
its fmal posxtaoa wbfch, accord-
ing to the Br u ssels negotiators,
does not pr ovide a boas for

'.,rrfw»r negotiations. .

Brussels Is now negotiatingor
about to start negotiations with
34 producer nations of the

Third World and eastern block
to limit textile exports to the
Community to an annual
growth of 6 per cent over four
years starting in 1978.

For some sensitive products
the growth rate is to be held
to 03 per cent to 4.1 per cent
under a Commission proposal
which Mr Lawrence MEEU,
Hongkong trade director, has
termed a diktat

Mr Mills said last night:
“We have proposed a total
package which me Community
has admitted meets their
‘ stabilization ’ requirement by
. proposing quantitative limits for
1978 based on the Community’s
imports in 1976.

.We beKeve, therefore, that
we lave made a reasonable pro-
posal, The Community has,
however, rejected it on the
grounds that Hongkong has
failed to make the additional
‘sacrifices’ the. Community
demands.”

Subaru target
of 10,000 cars
a year by 1982

By Peter Waymark

Importers of the Japanese
Subaru cam, whkh go on sale
in Britain far the fust time on
December 1, expect to sell at
[east 10,000 units annually with-
in five years.

Amimnang this yesterday,
Ur Robert Edmiston, man agin g
director of Subaru (UK), said
that anything less would make
the operation uneconomic. Tbe
eventual aim was ro capture 1
per cent of the market.

Subarc’s entry into Britain
comes at a time of renewed
concern about the level of
Japanese car imports which, in
the first ten months of the
year, achieved a penetration of
10.9 per cent.

Tbe Society of Motor Manu-
facturers and Traders said
yesterday that the figures sug-
gested a higher penetration far
1977 than foreseen during a
meeting with the Japan Auto-
mobile Manufacturers Associa-
tion in September.

Mr John Whitchorn (above) is
resigning . as one of the two
deputy directors-gencral of the
Confederation of British In-
dustry. A successor has yet to
be named. Mr Whitehorn, who
is 53, has been with the CBI
for 30 years, and has served
as a deputy to Mr John Davies,
Sir Campbell Adamson, sad
most recently, Mr John
Methven.

He said yesterday that the
parting was amicable, and had
come about because “ thirty

Kebel Leyland toolmakers going
to first national pay negotiations

By Clifford Webb

Leyland Cars* first national
P*y negotiations on Friday —
the result of the recent ballot
oy the workforce — will be
Attended by delegates of the
3,000 rebel toolmakers led by
Mr Roy Fraser.

Three months ago they with-
drew from the joint union-
management working party at
a crucial stage in the prepara-
tion of the pay «nd industrial
relations package which now
forms the basis of the com-
pany’s proposal for grvup-wide
pay negotiations.

At that time Mr Fraser said
tiie toolmakers saw little to be
gained from sirring on a body
split by a dispute between bis
own union, toe Amalgamated
Union of Engineering Workers,
and the Transport and General
Workers Union, which claims
to represent 70 per cent of the
company’s manual workers.

Since then the TGWU's
opposition to group- wide bar-
gaining has been overtaken by
the 2-1 ballot in favour of a

method which the company
claims is the only effective
means of restoring parity in its
34 plants and meeting the tool-
makers’ demands for the
restoration of skill differ-
entials.

Clearly the tool makers want
to stake their claim to seats on
the new national joint negotiat-
ing committee to be set up at
.the meeting in Coventry.

But there was a setback from
another quarter last night: the
TGTyiTs biggest branch—
Oxford 5/60 — which represents
7,000 employees in Leylands
Cowley body plant, want to end
thecompany’s three-tier partici-
pation machinery.

The Cowley men allege that
the # participation bodies are
beginning to meddle in pay
matters.

As a result of tins has branch
had voted to withdraw and seek
an early meeting of s&ou stew-
ards from the company’s 34

plants to recommend similar
action.

Some 2,000 Cowley workers

have been laid off since Friday
because a strike at Smiths In-
dustries has cut supplies of
speedometers. Production of
Maxi and Princess cars is at a
standstill.

A further 3,500 are laid off
at Triumph, Speke and Tri-
umph,. Coventry, where ,1*500
men are on strike against man-
agement moves to improve pro-
ductivity. Production of TR7
and Dolomite models has halted.
Vamhall meeting: The 3,000
skilled workers on strike at
Vauxtadl Motors for die past
fortnight have been called to a
meeting at Luton today to con-
sider an improved pay. offer by

the company. It is understood

that shop stewards will recom-
mend a return to work.

Ford strike: The number of
men laid off at Ford’s Hale-
wood plant rose to 4,00Q at the
end of the day shift yesterday.
The management told 2,000 men
from the body shop not to
report today. The layoffs are
because of a strike by 200 paJat-
sbop workers

Free Democrats back
reactor programme

From Peter Norm an
Bonn, Nov 8

A compromise formula that
should open the way for the
building of five or six nuclear
power stations in West Germany
was approved by the Free
Democrat party congress in
Kiel today by a large majority.

The congress agreed to dilute
the standpoint adopted by rtae
party’s main federal committee
in June chat would have sub-
jected tiie building of nuclear
plants to an effective mora-
torium of three years.

Instead it approved a motion
drawn up by Otto Graf L&mbs-
dorff. Economics Minister,
under which construction per-
mits for “ a few nuclear power
stations ” can be granted on
three conditions.

These are that the final
storage of highly radioactive
nuclear we*te is judged feasible
from a safety viewpoint. The
interim storage of used fuel
elements is held to be “ beyond
doubt in terms of safety and
techmology ”, and the first posi-
tive results of geological investi-
gations into toe suitability of
Gorieben, in Lower Saxony, as
a site for a nuclear waste dump,
are available.

It will be left to the govern-
ment and parliament to decide
whether these conditions are

fulfilled. One opponent of the
motion today charged that it
was equivalent to giving Graf
Lambsdorff authority to approve
the plants.

Today’s decision has removed
ooe political barrier to the
further development of nuclear
power hi Germany. It is ex-
pected that next week’s Soda]
Democrat p a rt y congress in
Hamburg wifi adopt a motion
simitar to that approved by toe
Free Democrats and so remove
the purely political impediments
to Germany’s nuclear power
programme.

Certain individual nuclear
newer stations will continue to
be blocked by court actions
brought by ~ environmentalist
groups.

Bnt aeceo&mce of toe Lambs-
dorff comoro mi se removes m
parr one of toe major uncer-
tainties banging over the
economy.

It has been estimated -that
the opposition to nuclear pOwer
starion projects has prevented
or detaved investments amount-
ine to DM20.000m (£5, 000m).

Uncertainty over the future of
electridty supplies has' - been
cited as a major factor behind
industry’s reluctance to invest.

The slowdown in the German
power station building pro-
gramme has also forced con-
tractors and components sup-
pliers into dismissing labour and
introducing short-time working.

Sweden unveils steel

Stockholm, Nov 8. — Sweden’s

thiee chief producers of

Cabinet would submit a Bill
to parliament next month under
which Graenges, Stora Koppar-
berg and. Statsfoeretag, toe
state ■mterprise group parent
company of Norrbottens Jaern-
verfc, would each contribute
;00m 1-Tonor (£80m) to toe
new group. The state would
contribute another 700m
srtnor through Statsfoeretag in
toe form of a new share issue.

Graenges and Stora Koppar-
berg have agreed to retain
their shares in Svenska .Staal
for at least five years, when
extensive streamlining of pro-

duction and manpower cut-
backs would be undertaken
after ralks with unions, toe
ministry said.

The government has pledged
u> lend the firm 3,100m kronor,
more inn half of which could
be written off under -certain
conditions. • ' -

Earlier today the Stock Ex-
change said Graenges’ shares
had been suspended on the Lon-
don and Stockholm exchanges
The ministry said for 15
years, the state would pay
Srawfoeretag 450m kronor to
cover the difference -between
the book value of Norbottens’s
Jaernverk and toe company's
share of Svenska Steal's start-
ing capiraL

The state .would also pay
Graenges 340m kronor over toe
same period as compensation.

The starring capital of- Sven-
ska Staal would consist of
2,000m kroner in share capital
and a reserve fund of 80m
Commenting on toe ministry
announcement Mr Bo. Abra-
hamsson, Graenges 9 managing

£5m Whitehall grants
for drop forgings

By Maurice Corina
Industrial Editor

Srate aid up to £5m Is to be
given to drop forgings manu-
facturers under as Industry Act
scheme announced yesterday by
Mr Alan* William, Minister of
State at the Department of
Industry. Grants for moderniz-
ing production facilities, new
buildings and towards toe cost
of consultancy studies will be
available.

Ruled otic, however, will be
projects aimed primarily at
meeting anti-pollution, health
and safety or environmental
standards.

This could cause some dis-
appointment because employers
have been conscious of toe noise
levels of hammers and. presses
in their efforts to improve
working conditions.

The drop forgings industry
has an output of- around £25 Dm
a year, with 70 per cent of pro-
duction going to toe vehicle
sector.

GKN, with eight forging
esta blishm ents accounts for
over half toe output, and in

Britain there are about 1,100
hammers, 315 press and 80
horizontal forging machines.

Pressure for an aid scheme
came from the sector working
party which has ^Tninw? the
industry’s .problem as part of
toe Government’s developing
industrial strategy.

Companies eligible for aid
will be those where average
annual output over toe past
three years bad not exceeded
5,000 tonnes and where capital
investment schemes cost
between £50.000 and £500.000.

It is felt that bigger concerns
can take advantage of selective
investment incentives offered
from other parts of the Govam-
. mentis portfolio of state aids.

Qualifying companies can get
grants of 25 per cent of net
eligible costs of equipment,
plant and machinery, and 20
per cent of net qualifying costs
of new buildings or improve-
ments to buildings.

For approved consultancy
studies, grants of 50 per cent
will be available if intended to
identify opportunities for
improving productivity.

i Wider role for
commodities

fund sought

Geneva, Nov 8. — Developing
countries insist that the com-
mon fund they seek for financ-
ing price-regulating buffer
stocks of commodities must also
be empowered to grant credits
for ocher measures.

The industrial states partici-
pating in toe 106-oatioo com-
I modify conference were told
that one of the main objectives
of the envisaged fund is to an
as “ an instrument for the
establishment of the new inter-
national economic order”.

Subsidies ‘prolonging shipyards agony’

Bv Michael Bally
Snipping Correspondent

Next year will probably be
worse than 1977 for new ship
orders Mr Peter Walters, presi-
dent of toe General Council of
British Shipping, and a manag-
ing director of BP said last
night.

Building unwanted vessels
with government subsidies to
shipyards was merely “ an ex-
pensive way of prolonging toe
agony for yards which have no
future, and of damaging those
which have”, he asserted.

In a speech to shipowners and
brokers in Glasgow, Mr Walters

declared: “At toe end of the
day toe future of toe world’s
shipbuilding industries hinges
on the health of toe shipping in-
dustry and toe number of ships
that are needed to carry toe
world’s cargoes. Demand for
ships will not go up just be-
cause yards have spare
capacity ”,

More than 20 British owners
had ordered this year — a poor
year — but 1978 could be worse.
“The reason is dear. Tramp
freights are depressed, and
owners are having a hard
enough task maintaining instal-
ments on -existing ships.

“In such circumstances few
tramp owners want to buy fur-
ther ships, and those who do
may well settle lor secondhand
ships, or vessels already on toe
stocks for other owners.”
Situation deteriorating : Sir
James Dunnetr, chairman of the
International Maritime Indus-
tries Forum said in London last
night that toe world shipping
and shipbuilding situation was
getting worse. Demand was un-
likely to reach capacity before
toe mid-1980s, he said, after a
meeting of international ship-
owners, shipbuilders, bankers
and oil industry leaders.

Total Group profit before tax is £5,442,000 (1976 £3,650,000) an increase of 40%. An interim
dividend of 1.452p per share net will be paid on 5th January 1978. This is equivalent to 22p
gross (1976 - 2.0p gross)' and in the event of any relaxation of dividend restraint a sub*
stantraHy increased final dividend would be recommended.

£ Our insurance broking income was £7.77 million which is an increase of 34%. These figures
are not enhanced by gains from currency fluctuations and therefore represent a solid achieve-
ment. The continued development of our UK operations is most encouraging and our Overseas
Insurance broking operations are showing further improvement.

e

Lloyd's underwriting profit commission is excluded from these interim figures. We have
already forecast a loss for the 1975 account (albeit much smaller than for 1974) and expect
that 1976 will break even. Our Agencies' company, which underwrites outside Lloyd's, is
showing good progress and the Australian underwriting operation is also continuing to
progress satisfactorily.

Total investment income of £1,907,000 reflects higher interest rates in Australia and the
USA.

Despite the recent revaluation of sterling we are confident that substantial real growth will
be achieved in the second half of the year.

Knitting industry
boosts exports
by 43 per cent

A 50 per cent increase in
exports during 1976 helped to
revive Britain’s knitting- indus-
tries, despite slack borne de^
maud and a better overall im-
port penetration, Mr Michael
Meakin, president of the Knit-
ting Industries’ Federation, said
yesterday. ‘

Speaking in Nottingham, Mr
Meakin said that expu m last

cess story has continued info
1977, with - exports in the first
six months rising by 43 per cent
over the same period test year
to £110m.” j

But imports, particularly from
developing countries, remained
a constant threat. * Overall,
imports climbed to a new peak
of £261m, despite the Multi'
Fibre Arrangement restraints
against Hongkong, Taiwan and
South Korea, which have been,
extended during the year to a.
wide range of other low-cost
sources- in -the Third "World.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Oil: when will demand exceed supply?

From Frauds Wayne
Sir, From The Times of
October 24 we lcaro, autoonta-
tively and -precisely, that the
oil reserves of toe world are
between 76.2 billion and 1,110
bfflion tonnes- Whichever of
these is correct (and I back
your Science . Editor) what
really matters is:

(a) When will world demand
for oil exceed supply ?

(b) How much will the cost
of exploration and extraction
increase in difficult areas ?

(c) What will be the cost of
toe small yield of tight oil
from shale and tareaads ?

(d) When will (a), (b) and
(c) make oil too costly to
burn ?

(e) How, without oil, does

an aircraft fly or a road vehi-

cle travel far?

(f) What is toe capital cost
and leadtime ■ for producing
toe successors to oil-burning
engines ?

- (g) Where can we use elec-
tricity , winch wiii be toe
medium of almost eH post-oil
power (for example hydro,
pi dal, waves, wind and nu-
clear) ?'

(h) Wbaf are we doing to
eketnify and expand our rail-
ways for inland transport, and
to build non-oti ships for over-
seas transport?

If toe answers to fa) and
(d) are in toe 1980’s and
1990’s respectively, we have

-not much time. If toe answer
to (e) is that we do not yet
know, or that we cannot mine .
enough coal to use throe times
toe present production for
making oil from it, or that any
other suggested solutions
require too much ' capital
expenditure, or more raw
ma ter ials titan we have, or
take too long to develop, or
are too dangerous, should we
think about (b)? '

This seems toe only answer,
using proved methods, to a
world problem of which only
toe tinting' is uncertain, unless
there is some totally unforesee-
able technical development,
which seems utfHkeiy in toe
time available.

Should we go on building
airports and motorways with
money which we will need for
other more long term forms of
transport? For bow long will
aircraft and road vehicles be
practical economics ?

Far from being “ uninformed
and unmoved” about toe enor-
mous potential of tile offshore
resources surrounding this
country, we as students were
frustrated and amazed by the
apparent lack of. interest
shown by toe Government and
others. This lackadaisical
approach is astonishing when
it is known that, for instance,
a barrage across’ toe Severn
would provide one fifth of our
total electricity supply, or that
600km of wave installations
would provide toe total
supply — no fear of “striking”
waves asking for £135 per
week and more 5
Yet with innovations of this
sort only “just around the cor-
ner "—technologically speaking -
— facilities at Bangor (and.
I’m sure, at other marine
laboratories in this country,

is carried on) remain at a pit-

High pay should Risk/reward ratio in investment
end concessions

From Mr R. B. W. Boyd
Sir, I hope the power workers
will consider implications of
their claim for concessionary
electricity from their
employers, and ask whether
they have any more right to
such a concession than any
other group of workers.' If they
demand free electricity, why
should workers in toe gas in-
dustry not follow suit ? Then
toe Post Office will be
demanding free stamps and
telephone calls. Local authority
workers will perhaps get in on
toe act by striking for reduced
rates, and Inland Revenue offi-
cials for lower taxes.

There would be no end to it;
and toe net result would be
that everyone would pay more
for other people’s - concessions
than they get back from their
own. While, of course, those
who have no concessions to
demand and no collective
power will come off worst as
usual.

Such concessions have tradi-
tionally been offered as com-
pensation for accepting lower
than average wages, but surely
these days toe receipt of a full
industri^ wage should -pot an
end to toe practice anyway,
and that- applies also to toe
mmeworkers. "

From Mr D. C. Dtxmont
Sir, In his article about toe
West Germany economy -in
your edition of October 21,
Roger Berthoud suggests that
in Germany banks . and com-
panies put more emphasis on
social and technological factors
than on toe risk/reward ratio,
whereas toe British system
focuses its interest on toe
shares market, where short
term performance looms'large.

It is not a matter of opinion
but of logic that if toe risk/
reward ratio is not right, over
the broad mass of investment,
then the grass national product
will not increase. The class of
investments where toe risks
run are greater than toe rew-
ards received will consume
rather than generate wealth.
Ibe fact of toe matter is that
in Germany it has been pos-
sible to assume a generally -
favourable risk/ reward ratio,
thus enabling industrialists and
others . to Rive their attention
to social mid technological fac-
tors. This has not been toe
case in toe United Kingdom.

As regards the short term
view taken in this country, this
is not a result of the shares
market, which merely reflects
the underlying reality. There
are quite enough investors
who can and do take toe long
view— indeed . such investors
from toe insurance' companies
and pension funds are now
becoming the dominant force
in toe market.

The short term view in this *

country has been due to the .
shortness of toe economic
cycle, toe sharpness of toe -
“ stop " each time, toe . higher
rate of inflation (thus increas-
ing toe risk) and the higher
rate of interest: this latter -
factor not only puts up toe
return which is required .on
industrial investment but also,
and perhaps most important
for this argument, increases
the rate .at which future cash
flows are discounted.

With a high rate , of interest,
the short term performance of
any investment becomes very
much more important than dis-
tant cash Hows, which, on toe
ocher baud, become more sigzd- *
ficant when interest rates are
low as in Germany.

As regards toe integrated
nature of financial . institutions
in Germany, it would certainly
be possible to put forward
political objections to toe exis-
tence of bonks which hold
share portfolios, exercise a.
large number of votes on
behalf of shareholders, lend. _
money to companies and also ~
sit on toeir boards. The clash of
interest alone would give rise
to a number of ethical ques-
tions, for example toe question
of insider trading. Further, in
different economic rircum-
■stances toe integrated system ’
might not prove economically
advantageous.

THE TIMES .WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER S 1977

BY THE FINANCIAL EDITOR

the Saudis

Rumoure that the Saudis would like at least
part o£ tneir ofl. revenues put on to a sterling
pricing basis _ sent stock markets sharply
better yesterifey afternoon on the assump-
tioa me Saudis would also be keen to
bold* hi g h er proportion o£ their income in
sterling assets in future.' -

Cwtsixily, most of the Oj»ec countries are
fsr^from nappy about the dollar situation 1
at.tne’moment, bot bow. the position will
develop, from^ here .remains' to be seen. As
85 the British Government is concerned
suttoemove would presumably fly straight
in me face of everything it has been trying
to do over the past year, both in terms of
unwinding overseas governments’ sterling
balances and pulling sterling out* of world
trade financing.

Meanwhile, markets will start doing their
^oney supply projections this morning from
J? e S? ^* ures f or the banking system’s
'Mifnole liabilities and the monthly clearing
!v.nk figures. The fact that anv seasonal
adjustment to sterling M3 is Iikelv to be
'■ery much less dramatic than in 'October
last year (when it was sharply upwards)
suggests that the situation may yet emerge
rather less badly than some had been
fearing. ,

Indeed, provided that this is the case,
financial markets may not be especially con-
cerned, particularly now that thev see the
sterling float as having charmed the nature
of the game in any case. That said, the
roinev soonly target* do remain fundamen-
tal to government suratesv and any increase
over £450m in sterling M3 (1.1 per cent) in
hanking October must restrict the authori-
ties’ room for manoeuvre in the second half
of financial year. .

What the banks themselves will be anxious
to see in the coming months, of course; is
r ^e kind of contingency plans the eovera-
~ , ent mpv have been preparing for the win-
f^r months if. the situation remains uncom-.
F nrtahlv tight. Even if the banks escape
restrictions on the si’e of their books how-
ler. the latest closuring bank figures show
rhat the orocess of having to refinance small
depositors from money market sources is
•'ontinuinR — a process that is unhkelv to
•"'main as cheap as it is at present for ever.

Brewers

That splendid
1976 summer

This time last year brewers were celebrating
the results of a splendid 1976 summer. The
situation is rather different now. The
weather has been awful ; people really have
got less to spend on drinking and meanwhile
prices are frozen while Mr Hattersley, the

• •

Hattersley’s reaction to the Brice Coxnmis*
sion report A meeting-hetween him and the
brewers is due within the. next couple of
weeks and the industry is optimistic tharthe
Minister will ' be swayed by arguments that
the report was unduly critical of . its invest-
ment planning. . .

Whitbread has' scheduled ElOOin of invest-
ment of which the largest chunk is f 35m
between- 1975 and 1980- on a new lager plant
at Magor. This is big money and it is be _
spent i in the view Hint lager, already
accounting for around 25 per cent of British,
beer consumption, will continue to increase
its share.

The doubt is created by the fact that lager
growth has slowed down, although in a
period, the year to September, when overall
beer production fell' by 1 per cent lager in-
creased its market penetration by around 2 *
per cent. The point is how much optimism
about lager was created by the exceptional
weather in 1976 and to a lesser ex tent 1975.
Brewing is a volume' sensitive industry made
more so by the vast capital spending in. new
lager capacity.' If the marketing people have
got their sums wrong the retraction coula
be painfuL •

0 A 35 per cent decline in the lost halfs
reported profits and sharply reduced mar-
gins is an inauspicious background for a
rights issue, especially when the company
concerned is,, a housebuilder, Barratt Deve-
lopments is thus relying heavily on the ,14.7
per cent yield on its offer price of '83p a
share and the prospects of a rapidly improv-
ing housing market for the success of its
£4.5m cash cdtl.

But it is far from clear why the issue is
being made. It is an expensive way of reusing
money. On a full tax charge, the dividend
on . the increased capital would have been
covered only 1.4 times on last year’s earn-
ings, while even excluding ' the cosmetic
benefits of taking £10.2m of deferred ttrx
into reserves, borrowings were only 77 per
cent of shareholders’ funds. Although this
reduces to 54 per cent with the rights, the
cost seems out of ' all proportion to the
benefit, particularly considering the likely
increase in retained earnings if the long-
awaited pick up in the housing market is
nearly here. ...

Latest figures on housing starts in the
private sector are encouraging, but not so
encouraging as the record inflows to build-
ing societies, and the record number of
mortgages promised. • •

So far price increases have been held
back to 10 per cent a year because net
wages have been static or falling. Phase
three is altering that delicate balance while
the climate is being changed by Government
schemes to help first time buyers. Building
sector shares are noised for a further rise
on hopes that it all comes true. It man not.
But in any case Barratt shareholders should
ask themselves why their company is pre-
pared to raise money from them, more
expensively than from the bank , -where the
company has ample facilities, and when
prosperity should be just round the comer.

The CBI’s first annual conference opens in Brighton on Monday

Why employers want their voices heard

Businessmen from all over
Britain will be flooding into
Brighton this weekend for the
first national conference to be
staged by the Confederation of
British Industry. Before tele-
vision cameras and the press
they. will have the opportunity
to mount the rostrum and say
their pieces on a wide range of
issues— the authentic voices of
the boardroom and management
committee rooms, but . speaking
in the manner, of delegates to
a TUC Congress, or a. party’
conference.

When industrial policy has
become, the .dominant theme of
gOYemmehtby either big party,
it is hardly surprising roar the-
CBX should attempt to
strengthen its influence with a'
seaside turn-out of supporters
from a wide spectrum of busi-
ness. The preoccupation of poli-
ticians and their Civil Service
advisers with industrial and
economic affairs has takes trade
union and boardroom leaders
into the very heart of Whitehall.

* The CBI finds itself to some extent a prisoner
of British industrial history, tied to advocacy
of free enterprise, yet baring to admit
that business cannot be unbridled and
unrestrained if governments are to plan ahead 5

Advice.

Industrial lobbying has come
of age. Once, ministers relied
heavily on their civil servants
for advice. Today, it comes at
them from all sides. Private
industry, which at one time
pleaded to be left alone untram-
melled by Whitehall, is on the
offensive, led by representative
organizations such as the CBL
Britain’s industrial problems
can be handled only with one
eye on the industrial lobby and
behind the derision to stage a
CBI conference is en unspoken
desire to match the TUC in
framing policies for running
the mixed economy. The unions
can and do sometimes bring the
industrial machine to a halt.

while the providers of capital
and those who take investment
decisions .ay out for more
productivity.

Bach side has sought to push
and pull governments to its way
of thinking. While the TUC’s
role and influence is evident,
that of pressure groups speak-
ing for management and sectors
of business is a mixed bag.
Some organizations are run by
one man and a dog.

But the CBI has steadily
emerged as the main means of
consol tattoo between business
and government on a wide
range of subjects.

There are problems, of course.
Every industrialist serving on
the CBI council has been
trained according to that rather
harsh principle — if at first you
do cot succeed, then your suc-
cessor will. Some CBI commit-
tees include men who believe
the best committee is one run
by himself, with the rest down

With influimga.

Indeed, reconciling the
interests of mdaviduads steeped
in the traditions of free enter-
prise with a role in tripartite

management of the economy is
a task that the CBl has had to
accept. It finds itself to some
extent a prisoner of British
industrial history, tied to
advocacy of free enterprise yet
-having to admit that business
cannot be unbridasd and unres-
trained if governments are »
plan ahead.

hundreds of information offi-
cers who explain and defend,
departmental interests as issues
rise and fall.

And there Is never any short-
age is issues. The present d<*- .
bate on employee participation
is but one example. The steady,
acceptance of some central .
direction of the economy,
has led to tiie creation of aids,
to industry, the establishment ,
of the National Economic De-
velopment Office and the de-
velopment of new institutions
covering prices, trade, practices;
and industrial relations and.
these have all served to make
business decision- taking at com-,
party level a very complex',
affair.

It is the same in represent- -
ative organizations, whether,
small trade associations or the
CBI, now emending its affili-, ■
ares fast in the City and in re-
tailing.

Tripartite

This is why the CBI’s docu-
ment Road 10 Recovery, which
will -feature in its conference
deliberations, is worth dose
study. It recognizes the role for
tripartite management along-
side unions and Whitehall
administrations.

The cooperation in economic
planning is justified on a speci-
fic ground. The document says :
“ The key principle is that such
planning and government action
arising from it should try to
assist, not to supplant the
market economy.”

Freedom to menage within
an agreed framework is also
the cry of men who run state-

owned industries and com-
panies. They are linked with
the CBI, though it is a reflec-
tion of an intensification of
lobbying in all its forms that
they have recently developed
their own organization, while
retaining CBI membership.

Membership

not simply a question of setting
up or_ abolishing National
■ Enterprise Boards, pushiog
planning agreements or
nourishing sick companies. New
- employment protection laws,
reforms of taxation, pricing and
competition controls and a host
of technical matters ranging
from pollution to safety legisla-
tion mean a requirement to
lobby at every twist and turn
of a Government programme.

Lobbying takes many Forms.

Ministers and senior civil serv-
ants are mnch in demand for
private as well as public meet-
ings and luncheons. Big com-
panies now maintain expert
staff to watch Whitehall and to
keep in touch with the press.

Whitehall itself maintains

That is one of the reasous -
why next week’s conference is
important to the CBI. Its lead- .
ers and the secretariat will •
come a tittle closer to the gen-
eral membership, for not every .
active supporter is a much
publicized captain of industry.' "

distant past experienced “ grass *

Construction : which
part needs
shoring up first?

. A motorway interchange takes shape. Civil engineers want a
“fair Share” of the cash that has been made available for the

construction industry.

The Chancellor has announced
that an extra £400m will, be
pumped into Britain’s ailing
construction industry next year.
In the next day or so Mr
Shore, Secretary of State for
tiie Environment, is expected to
give the details of bow and
where the money vriB be spent.

Civil engineers, : perhaps
more than most, will be paying
careful attention. Their
reaction to the original
announcement last month as
part of the _ Chancellor’s
measures was decidetfiy cfcfiUy.

The first indications seemed
to be that the biggest share
of the £40Gan would go to hous-
ing. As a senior official of the
Federation of Civil Engineering
Contr a ctors commented rue-
fully : “ This will not do much
for civil engineering con-
tractors”

Within two days of the
announcement the tripartite
Economic Development Com-
mittee - for civil engineering
had met and submitted a paper
to Mr Shore outlining the in-
dustry’s problems ana suggest-
ing policy options for allocat-
ing the cash among different
types of coosaructioQ activity.

The response was quick. Last
week Mr Shore, with Mr F rea-
son, Minister for Housing and
Construction, met a delegation
from the EDC led by Professor
Thomas Williams, the chair-
man, and Mr George Hender-
son, chairman of the EDC’s
crisis subcommittee. The _ dele-
gation staked the dvtl engineer-
ing industry’s claim for a fair
share of the cash.

To what extent the meeting
'was successful will be seen this
week, but Mr Henderson said
that the minister was convinced,

of the need to avoid either
lopsidedness or overheating
within the construction indus-
try.

Civil engineers claim that
they have suffered more than
most in the general construc-
tion slump, which has seen
total output fall by an -esti-
mated 37 per cent since the
peak year of 1973 and led to
unemployment of about 300,000
in the building, civil engineer-
ing and materials proauction
industries.

No separate output figures
are collected fordvfl engineer-
ing. Assessments depend upon
forward projections of orders.
However, it will have been
emphasized to Mr Shore that
about 90 per cent of civil
engineering new work is for the

engineering employment has
fallen by 32 per cent against
13 per cent for building.

“Yet such restitution as the
Government has made over the
past 12 months has been over
whelnringly back to building.”

Recent surveys within civil
engineering suggest that the.
difficulties caused by public
spending cats have been
unevenly spread. Orders for
oil companies and some of the
nationalized industries, for
instance, have remained buoy-
ant, but tile number of con-
tractors involved has been
smalL

Rather it is the small and
medium-sized companies, those
which specialize in roads and
sewerage work, which have
found orders post drastically
public sector, for which output reduced. The outlook for : .ese
is estimated to have fallen by remains bleak.

about 14 per cent between 1973
and 1976.

The civil engineers stress that
at present public expenditure
plans to 1978-79 indicate a
further drop in spending on
roads and other environmental
services — like water, sewerage,
land drainage and flood protec-
tion — to a level 40 per cent
below that in 1973-74.

Even if nationalized indus-
tries’ work is included, the
projected fall for civil engineer-
ing is some 17 per cent — assum-
ing that plans are realized.

Predictably, the civil engin-
eers are aggrieved. After the
announcement of the Chan-
cellor's measures die Federa-
tion of Civil Engineering Con-
tractors said: “All of the
Government's cuts since 1974
have been concentrated mainly
on civil engineering work
rather than building, with the
result that since 1974, civil

The civil engineering EDC
accepu chat the minister will
have been looking at ways in
which the cash mat has been
made available can be used to

reduce unemployment. . It is,
therefore, likely to have sug-
gested that money should be
put into projects which are
labour-in tensive and which can
be started quickly. These
would include road mainten-
ance, minor road improvements,
sewerage renewal projects and
environmental improvements.

Projects ready to start but
left on the shelf because past
cash shortages could be
revived.

The EDC is also anxious that
local authorities and water
boards should be encouraged to
spend up to the limits Open to
them. There have been signs
recently that they have not
been doing so.

The Federation of Civil
Engineering Contractors, too,
has been urging the Govern-
ment to concentrate on work
which can be started quickly
and which has a high conrent
of non-craft workers, again such
as water, sewerage and minor
road schemes. It points to short-

ages of skilled men, such as
bricklayers and plasterers, iir
some areas of building.

It is a point of view that- ’ ■
does not win favour with the •
National Federation of Building
Trades Employers, which insists -
that the shortages are minimal' .
and confined to certain regions
only. It would argue .for_.an/<
injection of cash to win back'
and hold craftsmen. , - ]

Whatever the minor differ-' * 1
ences of opinion, the construc-
tion industry, while appredat- 1
ing Mr Shore’s efforts on its- *
behalf, knows that the £4C0m «
— next year — is little more • •
than a holding operation which ■
will help to arrest further de-.
cline and waste of resources.

Ail sectors are hoping for;
further relief in the spring. '
What form this might take and*
how it can be incorporated into 1 ’
a stable programme of work _
will be a key item of discus' ‘
sion when representatives of all 1 *
sectors meet the Chancellor on '
December 1.

Business Diary : Exit Whitehorn • Surprise in store

The two-day conference that
gees under’ way in Brighton
on Sunday night is the first
j national get-together the CBI

■ has had. For John Whitehorn,

! however, a CBI official for 30
1 sears, ic will be his last.

Whitehorn, one of John
Methven s two deputy directors
general, is resigning at 53, 12
years ahead of retirement,
i He told Business Diary’s Ross
\ Davies last night: “I’ve been

■ here 30 years and that’s a
j damned long time to be in any
’ urbanization. I had two choices,

either, move now and hope for
10 years in another career or
carry on at the CBI until they

! i carry me out.”

Whitehorn said be had talked
i the matter over “ in perfect

year. Neither his destination
nor Jiis successor is known.

"The real trouble will begin when those people who
have already accepted 10 per cent or less start to feel
sorry for thems elves."

H Rumours have been circula-
ting for months in the Chicago
head office of Sears, Roebuck
and Company about who would
be picked as the next chairman
of this, the world's largest
retailing company. The
announcement has now been
made and it is a surprise.

Arthur Wood, the reserved
and thoughtful chairman, who
reaches the company’s man-
datory retirement age of 65 in
Januarv, savs that bis successor
wOI be* Edward Telling, who is
53 and the company’s senior
executive vice-president for
field operations. He moved to
headquarters from a regional
position less than rwo years
ago.

The man likely to bo most
disappointed by the decision is
Dean Swift, the 59-year-old
president and chief admini-
strative officer.

Swift will remain in his post,

as will others who were
reckoned to have a good chance
of succeeding Wood, such as
James Button, Jack Kincannon,
and Charles Meyer, respec-
tively the corporation’s top
merchandising, finance and
planning executives.

Telling, who joined Sears as
a trainee in 1946 in a small
store in Illinois, is now to head
a company with 416,000 employ-
ees, 862 retail stores. 14 m®l
order centres, 2,920 other
retailing outlets and annual
sales well above 516,000m.

He is smd to be a tough, un-
talkative, soul keen on playing
gin rummy and bridge and con-
cerned about physical fitness —
he is said to run five _ miles
every morning before going to
the office.

B With 10 days to go before
the first 100 days of his adnuois-
ration at North East Coast

Shiprepairers are over, Rab
Butler (not the Master of
Trinity College, Cambridge,
moonUghtiog) is in sight of get-
ting his team together.

He announced yesterday that
he is bringing in William Burns
from PA Management Consul-
tants to be responsible for
finance and Michael Abbott*
from Go van Shipbuilders to run
industrial relations; that Bran-

ron Wright is moving from the
company secretaryship of NECS
to take over administration and
that Alan Brewster comes in
from the Post Office's cable ship
fleet to run the Readbead Yard
at South Shields.

Butler, who told Business
Diary’s Ross Davies yesterday
that further appointments will
be announced shortly, came in
himself from the private sector.
He is on attachment from his
own ship-repairing ■ company,
Clyde Dock, which he has loft
in the hands of a team led by
managing director Bert Ellison.

Despite all the _hoo-ha that
led to the exclusion of ship-
repairing from the nationaliza-
tion of the shipbuilding indus-
try, British Shipbuilders, the
new state body, has in fact
ended up \rirfa the biggest ship-
repairing unit In Britain, if not ;
ia Europe— the jewel in the
crown being NECS, now a group
of six Tyne yards.

NECS was already in public
hands at the time of the
nationalization. . having been
part of the Court Line group
which foundered. It has since
been expanded with the acquisi-
tion, among others, of W alls-
eed Slipway and Wallsend Dry
Dock from Swan Hunter.

B The connection between ad-
vertising and hot air, never
hard to see, is nowhere more

clear then in the operations of
Colin Presoot and Julian Note's
Hot Air Balloon Company!

Founded -i year ago to cater
to the advertising industry's
taste for airborne publicity, toe
company now has nine balloons
and, Prescoc and Note say, is
toe biggest in Europe.

Hot air ballooning— even for
profit — is a summer-time occu-
pation, so Prescot, toe chief
executive, is spending -toe
winter planning a “hare and
hounds* race across the Chan-
nel to be neld in March. Non,

An interim dividend of Q.7955p per ordinary share will be paid on 13 March, 1978 to the
shareholders registered at 6 February, 1978. Including tax credits this dividend is equivalent to

1 »2053p per share.

Profits at £32 million are marginally abrad of last year and arc arrived at after taking into
account some £2 million of losses sustained during the period, due to the national strike of bakery
workers. The effects of this industrial action will continue to be felt during the second half of the
year.

In spile of the lower margins in recent months in grocery retailing due to fierce competition,
the profitability ofour retailing divisions has been on budget and this, together with the good results
from the other U.K. manufacturing activities, has more than made up for the unsatisfactory bakery
results during the half year.

Overseas, the highly competitive conditions that prevailed in most of the industries la which
ourSouth African subsidiary. Premier Milling, participates, put margins under pressure, although
good volume increases were obtained. Premier's results are not expected to be substantially
different from those achieved last year.

Despite good trading resuits for much of the period by our Australian companies, the effect
of the Government's price freeze in the early months of the year, together with the long drought
affecting our meat and dairy divisions in Western Australia, combined to produce half year results
marginally below last year.

■ Although capital expenditures have continued at a high level, the Group's strong cash flow,
combined with lower than planned borrowings and failing- interest rates in this country, have
reduced interest charges in the U.K.; this has been offset by higher interest charges overseas.

The Group expects to exceed the previous year's profit level, bul it is not anticipated that
this increase will be significant. Nevertheless, all our operating divisions, both at home and
overseas, are well equipped to meet tbc competition which they will face in trading conditions for
the remainder of the period.

By Alison Mitchell

The bread strike earlier this
year knocked £2m off the first
half profits of Associated
British Foods, one of Britain’s
three bakery giants.

In the six months to October
1, die group was only slightly
ahead with pre-tax profits of
£3 2m, against £3L2m. This was
at the lower end of many City
estimates and the shares slipped
a further 2p yesterday to close
at 64p. This compares with 76p
10 days ago.

Despite the strike, sales were
stepped up from £703m to
£817m. But the full impact has
still to be felt

Housewives who turned to
independents and home baking
during tbe strike are reluctant
to return to the supermarket
shelves for tbeir bread. Mr
Garry Weston, chairman, warns
shareholders of the increase in
competitive pressures caused by
the slow recovery in bread
con Gumption.

The group has applied for a
3p rise in the price of a loaf
to ease margins which, if accep-
ted, will operate from the end

of this month.

Mr Garry Weston, chairman.

Providing volume continues
to improve in the second half
year, this division could break
even by tbe year-end.

But the chairman makes a
gloomy forecast for the current
year. Profits are unlikely to be
much greater than last time’s
£80.4m with the highly competi-
tive markets both at borne and
overseas showing little prospect
for growth.

"The result will be an inten-
sification of the pressure ou
margins,” -he says.

Another division suffering
from fierce competition is
grocery' retailing, where the
Fine Fare supermarkets are
feeling the effects of die Tesco
price cuts. However, the profits
from this side — which also
takes in the Shoppers Paradise
and Elmo Discount stores— has
been increased, more than mak-
ing up for the unsati&facioiy
bakery results.

Overseas, margins at South
African subsidiary Premier
Milling were under increasing
pressure, though volume did
show a definite improvement in
the period. Profits should in-
crease in tbe second half leav-
ing the figures for the year
similar to those of last time.

Australia was ahnosr 20 per
cent down on lasc year and is
unlikely to match its previous
profit.

In the year to April 2 over-
seas earnings accounted for 45
per cent of tbe total but these
profits could be bit in the sec-
ond half by a strengthening
pound.

Record Ridgway, the Sheffield
tools group, is to raise £l-5m
through a one-for-four rights
issue at 70p. It also forecasts
pre-tax profits of £2.4tn for the
year to October 2.

The issue is to help widi a
£6.1m expansion move of which
£900,000 is to be supplied by
Government grants and £2 5m
by a loan from Finance For
Industry.

The cash is for three capital
projects due for completion in
197930. They are : a new
foundry in Sheffield costing
£2. 8m, expansion and reequip-
ment at Record Ridgway Tools
costing £2.3m, and expansion

mad reequipment at Platts Forg-
ings costing Elm.

RR’s development in the past
year has created 100 new jabs
in Sheffield and the board ex-
pect another 140 jobs to arise
in the next two years.

For tbe year to October 2
the board forecasts £2 Am
against £ 1.96m pre-tax last year.
But k also expects “ a short
period of consolidation ” before
the growth levels of recent
years can be resumed.

In the light of the issue
Treasury consent has been won
for an increase ru gross divi-
dends for the year just ended
from 4.675p to 6.32p. The shares
-improved a penny yesterday.

from this division were doubled

charges, our Profit After Tax at £12,281,000 showed an increase of 8%.

Our trading was adversely affected by three main factors. First, the carry-over

Mr R. W. Holder, chairman

the past few years and despite
difficult trading conditions has
just completed a most success-
ful year.”

Along with a total dividend
for the year to July 31 of 132p
gross the directors say that
shareholders can look forward
to a total dividend of as much
as 3.18p for the 12 months to
July 31, 1978.

Accompanying the rights
issue is the news that pre-tax
profits of the Dorset-based
group jumped by 52 per cent
to £851,000.

Market reaction to the rights
issue and dividend increase was
favourable — the shares rose 3p.

Lager continues to be a key factor in the brewing industry’^ performance.
Growth during 1977 has slowed down but, after discounting the weather factor, we
believe the growth of lager will continue. We are, therefore, confident in continuing
our investment in the new lager brewery at Magor. We feel that Whitbread's two
main lager brands, Heineken and Stella Artois, are well placed to take up the
future demand for lager in the market place. The introduction of Stella Artois in
cans during May has been particularly successful. Against the background of a
difficult trading period, we report good progress by Whitbread Trophy Bitter, as
well as Gold Label, English Ale and Brewmaster.

The poor Summer weather caused a dramatic drop in sales of Soft Drinks,
which severely affected sales of R. White's Lemonade. This was in sharp contrast to
our sales of Rawlings Mixers, which are up on last year and considerably increased
their share of the market.

Siemens intends to keep
DM8 payout unchanged

Casinos, restaurants lead

In a difficult market, volume sales of wine have been maintained at last year’s
levels. Profitability has shown an upwards movement, due to increased saies of
Langenbach German wines and French table wines.

In spirits, Long John International has opened a number of new overseas
markets and continues to show increased sales and profits. In the United Kingdom,
safes of the Long John brand are now running at almost double last year’s figures.

From Peter Norman

Siemens, the world's fourth
largest electrical group, is
keeping to its promise to pay
an unchanged dividend of 16
per cent or DM8 per DM50
nominal share for the year that
ended on September 30.

After a meeting of its super-
visory board, the group _ an- :
nounced that it is “consider-
ing ” paying 16 per cent on
capital increased to DM1, 608m
from DM 1,594m. Despite the
cautious formulation, the pay-
ment is assured, and it will
cost Siemens DM257m com-
pared with DM255m tbe year

levies, does not see any drama-
tic improvement in the tradi-
tional side of the group’s
business, but prospects for die

business, but prospects for die
group’s “ Famous Grouse “
brand are “at the very least
encouraging ",

Much of the 38 per cent im-
provement in pre-tax profits to
a record £3 35m for the year
to August 31 was attributable
to tins brand. The ’ brand is
now developing in export mar-
kets and sales in volume terms

By Desmond Quigley

Insurance brokers and under-
writer C. E. Heath hoisred pre-
tax profits in tbe six months
to the end of September by 49
per cent from £3.65m to £5.44m.

Despite the recentlv much
voiced fears on the potentiaMy
adverse impact on the sector's
profits due to the strength of
sterling. Heath says that operar-
ing profits of £5.47m would
have declined by oxjy £331.000
if it had used the dollar
exchange race of 51.835 instead
of the actual rate used of
Sl-74, the average for the first
half.

However, given that the
second half vear produces a
stronger performance, the full
year will reflect a decline more
strongly if sterling remains
firm.

The interim dividend was
increased by 10 per cent from
2p to 32p a share gross
(adjusted for the scrip issue).
However, Mr F. R. D. Holland,
chairman, said yesterday that
he would have liked to increase
the total dividend for the year
by two to two-and-a-half times.

A 10 per cent increase in the
total dividend to 733p a share
gross would mean a yield of 3

per cent with the shares rising
2lp co 243p yesterday.

pared with last year’s some-
what modest base. Industry
export figures for the first
eight months of 1977 are 7 per
cent ahead of last year.

year has come from the United
States, marine insurance and
from the United Kingdom.
Brokerage income rose bv 34
per cent to £7.78ra while interest
on the broking side rose 72 per
cent to £700,000.

45p bid would value the. group
at £648,000. The group has been
trading weH recently. Since
making a loss of £32,000 in
1974-75 the group has been pick-
ing up -and in August pre-tax
profits for die year ro March 3J
reach £110,000. This compared
with £66,000 a year earlier, and
the group’s iecord of £175,000
for 1972-73.

Pitney Bowes on
the way to
one third gain

A record third quarter for
franking mid mail ing machine
maker Pitney Bowes could
mean the group finishing the

year with pre-tax profits nudg-
ing £2m. These would compare
with £1.5m, and reflect a more
vigorous sales policy in the
United Kingdom, according to
Mr Ronald Williams, managing ~
director.

The American parent y«srer> _
day launched a new :

Pitney Bowes Marking Systems; /IF
to become operational in die
united Kingdom and Germany
at the beginning of next. year.

The offshoot will - pull
together various divisions .in
Europe manufacturing and sell-
ing price-marking products,
tickets, tags and labels.

At the beginning of last
month the group Formed its
own _ finance company, p. B.
Leasing, to handle the leasing
side of its business. This
accounts for around half of
the machines made by the
group, excluding the franking
meters invariably rented from
Pitney Bowes.

Foreign

Exchange

A report that Saudi Arabia vrfll
require part of its oil money in
sterling sent the pound racing
ahead on foreign exchanges yes-
terday. In the final hour or so the
rate against the dollar soared from
1.8070 to about 1.8300. _

Sterling closed at 1.8285 for a
net rise of 235 cents. The effec-
tive exchange rate index was
finally up 0.1 at 633. But tins was
calculated with the dollar almost
2 cents above its closing position.

The report suggested that the
Saudis had made -an approach to
the United Kingdom authorities
for their views, but official
sources fa London had “ no know-
ledge of any approach”. Dealers
In London said that if the report
was confirmed, sterling could
quickly reach $ level of around
1.8500 to the dollar.

Gold closed 80 cents down in
London at S16 5.875 an ounce.

Surgery'?

At sometime you, or someone
close to you, is likely to benefit
from the highest standards of
surgery in the world. Such
standards have long been
maintained through the work
undertaken by this independ-
ent body - mid it is vital to
ensure that standards will never
be lowered. The work of this
College is to a great extent
financed by donations, coven-
ants and legacies.
Post-graduate _ training pro-
grammes awrf rigorous examin-
ations for surgical qualifica-
tions ore act and controlled by
the' College, which is also

pnraump promising research in
such fields .4

_ ,as anaesthesia,

arthritis, birth defects, blind-
ness, rancor, dental caries,
organ transplantation and
thrombosis.

The future of surgery in
Britain largely depends on the
future finances of the College.
Few investments can be more
worthwhile. Your gifts, coven-
ants, legacies or enquiries will
be gladly received by the Appeal

Unbelievable?— but if you pay tw at anything like the
rate, a loss to you of £100 spendable income would
give us around £1,000 to support desperately needed
research into Mental Health and allied projects.

If you have £1,000 (or more) uninvested capital, please
write to us tor details of how an Jnteresr-frce loan (repay-
able at seven days’ notice) will belp in the Gght against
the despair and economic consequences of mental illness.
